Arc 1: identity and truthful pipelines

Modules 01 to 04 establish the state model.

  • Module 01 teaches the failure modes that make reproducibility necessary.
  • Module 02 teaches content-addressed identity and state layers.
  • Module 03 teaches environments as part of the declared input surface.
  • Module 04 teaches truthful pipelines and recorded stage transitions.

Leave this arc able to explain what the repository claims and what it actually recorded.

Arc 2: meaningful comparison

Modules 05 to 06 turn tracked numbers into trustworthy comparison surfaces.

  • Module 05 teaches params, metrics, and semantic comparability.
  • Module 06 teaches experiments as controlled deviations from a baseline.

Leave this arc able to explain why a changed metric means something rather than merely moving.

Arc 3: collaboration, recovery, and promotion

Modules 07 to 09 scale the repository into a long-lived shared system.

  • Module 07 teaches collaboration and CI contracts.
  • Module 08 teaches recovery, retention, and incident survival.
  • Module 09 teaches promotion boundaries and auditability.

Leave this arc able to separate repository-internal evidence from downstream trust.

Arc 4: governance and migration

Module 10 finishes with stewardship judgment.

  • Module 10 teaches migration planning, governance rules, and tool-boundary decisions.

Leave this arc able to review a real DVC repository and justify what should change next.

Route markers

  • Read First-Contact Map when you need the smallest honest starting route.
  • Read Mid-Course Map when Modules 01 to 04 already feel stable and you need the bridge into comparison, collaboration, recovery, and promotion.
  • Read Mastery Map when the pressure is stewardship, migration, or downstream trust review.
