Cohort Sprint — Data Architects · Three paths

Six weeks from now, you're in a different position. Or the same one.

Three ways through the same 6-week Sprint. One framework. One cohort. The difference: how deep you go technically — and how close you work with Dmitry.

Choose your path

Three ways through. One framework. One community.

All three tiers run on the same 6-week schedule. All three include the AI-Architect Agent and the Architects Guild. The difference: how deep you go technically — and how close you work with Dmitry.

PATH 01 · $997

The Promotion Sprint

Shift how you're seen — inside and outside your company.

6 weeks of live instruction focused on the language, positioning, and career mechanics that move you from “senior engineer” to “AI-augmented architect.”

Best for

Engineers who already have the technical chops but feel underpaid, overlooked, or stuck.

Most popular

PATH 02 · $1,497

The Full Sprint

Shift how you're seen + shift how you work.

Everything in Promotion, plus deep technical modules, live coding sessions, and code review from Dmitry on your real architecture work in the cohort.

Best for

Engineers who want both positioning and technical upgrade — and want Dmitry's eyes on their work in front of the cohort.

PATH 03 · $1,997 · 5 SEATS

The VIP Sprint

Everything above + Dmitry's personal time.

Everything in Full Sprint, plus three private 1:1 sessions with Dmitry, direct messaging access to him for the duration of the Sprint, and a personal portfolio review at the end.

Best for

Engineers preparing for a specific high-stakes role move. Limited to 5 seats per cohort.

Same 6-week structure for all tiers

How the Sprint works.

Week 0

Onboarding + intro Q&A

Meet your cohort peers, set up tooling, and join the first live Q&A with the track expert.

Weeks 1–2

Foundations (Modules 1–3)

AI-native data architecture fundamentals: orchestration patterns, evaluation frameworks, and cost/latency trade-offs.

Weeks 3–4

Production patterns (Modules 4–6)

Advanced retrieval, prompt-chain design, validation systems, and real-world failure modes.

Weeks 5–6

Synthesis, assignments + career direction

Submit both graded assignments, receive expert feedback, and map your next 90 days as an AI-native architect.

Included in all tiers

Dmitry's AI-Architect Agent — 3 months free.

An AI tool tested by Dmitry in real architecture work. Designed for trade-off analysis, system review, blind-spot detection, and AI hallucination checks. Free for the 3 months of your Sprint and beyond. After that, $50/month — optional.

Included in all tiers

Architects Guild membership — 3 months free.

The senior community at Reasonly — cross-track Q&A, job board access, peer code review, and direct messages with other senior architects. Free for the first 3 months. After that, $50/month — cancel anytime.

What's in the Guild →

Path 03 · $1,997 · 5 seats only

Everything in the Full Sprint — plus Dmitry's personal time.

The cohort works because it's a cohort. But some career moves are too specific, too high-stakes, or too time-sensitive for group format. The VIP Sprint adds three things you can't get any other way.

Three private 1:1 sessions with Dmitry

60 minutes each · Scheduled at your pace

Scheduled at your pace through the 6 weeks. Use them however you need:

  • Session 1 — Career strategy session. Your situation, your goal, your timeline. Dmitry maps the specific path — internal promotion, external move, founding role, IC-to-manager transition. You leave with a written plan.
  • Session 2 — Technical/architecture review. Bring your real work — a current project, a decision you’re stuck on, a system you’re designing. Dmitry reviews it as a senior peer would. No cohort eyes on it.
  • Session 3 — Pre-launch session. Mock interview, mock promotion conversation, or final review of whatever move you’re about to make. The last calibration before you go.

Direct DM access to Dmitry

Full 6 weeks

Slack-style direct line. Questions between sessions. Async architecture review. “Should I take this offer?” / “Should I push back on this design?” / “How do I phrase this in the interview?”

Not 24/7 — Dmitry has a real job. But within 24–48 hours, business days, you get a real answer.

Personal portfolio review at week 6

~1,500 words written review

Submit your real work — code, architecture docs, design decisions. Dmitry writes a structured written review (~1,500 words): what's working, what isn't, specific changes, market positioning. You can use this for interviews, internal reviews, or your own clarity.

Why only 5 seats

Because real 1:1 time can't scale. Dmitry runs a full job. He can give three deep sessions to five engineers per cohort. Beyond that, the quality drops and we'd be lying about what we deliver.

Who picks VIP

VIP is for engineers with a specific, time-bound career move in the next 3–6 months:

  • Promotion conversation coming up
  • Senior interview at a top-tier company
  • Considering founding engineer role
  • Architect-level transition you’ve been postponing
  • High-stakes architectural decision you need to get right

If you're earlier in your senior journey — Promotion or Full is the right path. VIP isn't “better.” It's for a specific moment.

Money-back challenge

Complete the work, or get your money back.

Three conditions. All three must be met:

  • Attend at least 80% of live sessions (or watch recordings within 72 hours).
  • Submit both graded assignments by the stated deadlines.
  • If you don't receive a job lead or an improved offer within 6 weeks of cohort completion — contact us for a full refund.

We don't offer no-questions-asked refunds. The challenge exists to put skin in the game — yours and ours. If you do the work and it doesn't move the needle, we take responsibility. If you don't do the work, we don't.

The math

Three prices. One question — what are you optimizing for?

PROMOTION SPRINT

$997

If you're optimizing for: clear positioning,less than the cost of a single month's pay difference between “senior” and “architect.”

FULL SPRINT

$1,497

If you're optimizing for: positioning + technical upgrade,less than two weeks of consulting fees for the seniors who'd review your work.

VIP SPRINT · 5 SEATS

$1,997

If you're optimizing for: a specific career move in the next 3–6 months — and Dmitry's direct personal time is worth more than the $500 delta.

All three include:

3 months free of the AI-Architect Agent (then $50/mo, optional)
3 months free of the Architects Guild (then $50/mo, optional)

The math isn't in the price. It's in the position you walk into 6 months from now.

Questions

What practitioners ask before committing.

When does the next cohort start?+
Next cohort opens for applications [TBD]. We run cohorts monthly when there is sufficient demand. Join the Pack now — you will be notified first when the next cohort opens.
What's the VIP Sprint really for?+
Specific high-stakes career moves in the next 3–6 months — a promotion conversation, a senior interview at a top company, transitioning from IC to architect role. You get three 60-minute 1:1 sessions with Dmitry, direct DM access for 6 weeks, and a personal written portfolio review. Limited to 5 seats per cohort because real 1:1 time can't scale. If you're not in a specific career move moment, Promotion or Full is the right tier.
What happens if I buy VIP and don't need the 1:1 sessions?+
You forfeit them. We don't refund unused sessions — they're scheduled to Dmitry's calendar from the day you enrol. If you're not sure you'll use them, pick Full Sprint.
What's the time commitment?+
Plan for 5–7 hours per week. One 90-minute live call each week, plus async lesson work. Async-friendly: recordings are posted within 24 hours for replay.
What if I can't attend a live session?+
Recordings are provided within 24 hours. Watching the recording counts toward attendance for the money-back challenge (must be within 72 hours of the live session).
Who teaches the cohort?+
The track expert is a senior practitioner with 10+ years in production data systems, currently building AI-native architecture at scale. Full bio published when cohort opens.
What if I fail an assignment?+
Three attempts each, with detailed written feedback after each attempt. Most students pass on the second attempt. There is no penalty for using all three attempts.
Can I expense this through my employer?+
Yes. A formal invoice is provided after purchase with full company details, line items, and VAT if applicable. The Cohort Bundle is the tier most often approved as professional development.
What if I do not get a job?+
The money-back challenge applies to job leads and improved offers — not guarantees. If you meet all three conditions and see no movement in six weeks, you get a full refund. See the challenge details above.
Is there a no-questions-asked refund window?+
No. The money-back is conditional on completing the work. An unconditional refund would devalue the effort others put in and the access you consumed.

Next cohort starts [DATE]

6 weeks from now, you're in a different position. Or the same one.

The Promotion Sprint shifts how you're seen.
The Full Sprint adds technical depth and cohort code review.
