Maps for teams who have drowned in dashboards.


App Analytics, taught as a quiet discipline: what to count, what to ignore, and how to keep a product honest when the charts begin to flatter it.

“A metric is a sentence about the product. Most teams publish novels. We prefer a ledger with dates, names, and the courage to leave cells blank.”

Flagship · six weeks

Instrumentation Studio

The course we built because event dictionaries rot. You will design a schema that survives a reorg, write naming rules a contractor can obey, and practise saying no to vanity properties. Seats are limited by tutor time, not by a countdown clock.

Not every team needs six weeks. These programmes isolate a single App Analytics problem and refuse to wander.

We arrived with 186 events and left with 41. The Instrumentation Studio did not make our app look busier; it made the weekly review shorter, which our engineers quietly preferred.

★★★★☆

The Funnel Geometry fortnight is dense. I wanted more time on SQL; the tutors were frank that this is not a warehouse course.

What we refuse

Benefits, stated without fireworks

  • 01

    A named event is a promise

    You leave with a written taxonomy, not a folder of screenshots. App Analytics only compounds if the next hire can read the map.

  • 02

    Cohorts before vanity

    We train the habit of slicing before celebrating. A rise in sessions is not a rise in care.

  • 03

    Tutors who have shipped

    Faculty come from product analytics desks in the United Kingdom, not from slide factories.
