Lyric’s cohort-based program for supply chain analysts, modelers and builders. This repo holds the program material: session pages, assignments, decks, starter data and the certificate bundle.
The public page is lyric.tech/crescendo. It is
not in this repo. The lyriccrescendopilot.tech domain in CNAME served the pilot
and is being retired — read cert/HANDOFF.md before it goes dark.

Each week folder has a README with its five slots: what it covers, the OMG moment,
the assignment, the optional mini-session, and the guest speaker. Five slots are
still open — they are marked TODO and listed in the curriculum outline.
The pilot ran 4 weeks and 6 sessions. Cohort 1 runs 5 weeks. The reasoning behind
the change — including the survey finding that the pilot was lighter on
Lyric-specific modeling than students wanted — is in
cohort-1/planning/crescendo-1-decisions.md.
