Production AI fails silently when reasoning is implicit. This module teaches you to identify runaway cognition, silent drift, and trust erosion—the most common sources of agent failure in enterprise environments. You’ll learn to diagnose gaps in reasoning control using real incident patterns.

Through the Reasoning Maturity Ladder, you’ll assess your system’s current level and define measurable signals for improvement. This isn’t about intelligence—it’s about safety. By the end, you’ll translate theoretical risks into actionable engineering requirements: bounded, measurable, and observable reasoning loops.
