1. Isn’t this too long? Why does the CPA program take one full year?

Because true product architecture is not a wireframe or a blueprint. It’s the living anatomy of your product—from strategy to system logic, component specification to implementation, and real-time operations. You can’t master this in a weekend workshop or a certification camp. Each quarter of this program mirrors how product architecture breaks in reality: One failed handover at a time. One missing variable at a time. One release glitch at a time. This program walks you through the full anatomy—strategy, process, system, component, implementation, operations—using our proven 13-step model.

2. Why should I choose this over a systems design bootcamp or solution architect program?

Because they teach how to design a box. We teach how to operate an evolving product organism. While most programs stop at UML diagrams or deployment flows, we show how your architecture behaves over time—under stress, under feature load, under regulatory constraints. We focus on execution architecture—not just design intent.
