Python and Data for AI Capstone
Pull the full path together by inspecting a tiny end-to-end preparation workspace. This capstone asks the learner to identify the target, choose usable features, catch data issues, reason about structure, and explain what has to happen before training.

Briefing
Task 1
Briefing
This capstone is where the path should start to feel coherent instead of modular. The learner is no longer answering isolated questions about one concept at a time. They are reading a small preparation workspace the way a careful beginner builder would.
The job is not to train a model. The job is to show that the learner can now inspect data, identify the target, choose honest features, notice cleanup issues, reason about structure, and describe the preparation chain before any model touches the data.
If the learner can complete this room confidently, they should feel ready to enter How Models Learn with a real working foundation.

How this room is meant to be used
This terminal lab is expected to be completed inside the room rather than skimmed like static documentation. Start with the briefing, move through the objectives in order, and use the runtime or validation steps to prove understanding before you claim completion.
Task 5
What to pay attention to
Task 5
What to pay attention to
Focus on the system behavior the room is trying to teach, not just the final answer. Strong room work means understanding why the objective matters, which assumptions are being tested, and what evidence would prove success or failure in a real environment.
- Track where trust changes inside the scenario.
- Notice which inputs are attacker-controlled and which controls are supposed to contain them.
- Use mistakes as signal about the concept gap, not just as failed attempts.

What good completion looks like
Task 6
What good completion looks like
A strong solve leaves the learner able to explain the technique, reproduce the key step deliberately, and describe how the same issue would be attacked or defended in a real deployment. The room should feel like practice, not trivia.
