Track 05 · Beginner
Data & analytics
Read data with confidence. SQL basics, the metrics that actually matter, and turning a dashboard into a decision.
Most people are surrounded by dashboards and still can't answer 'so what?'. This track fixes that. You'll pick up just enough SQL to ask data a precise question, learn to separate metrics that drive action from vanity numbers, and turn a chart into a decision you can actually defend.
What you'll be able to do
- Ask a database a precise question with basic SQL
- Tell an actionable metric from a vanity one
- Anchor any number against a baseline before trusting it
- Turn a dashboard into a decision you can defend

- 03
Reading a chart honestly
Compared to what? The baseline that turns a raw number into a signal.

From dashboard to decision
So what, now what — the move from a number on a screen to an action.
