What's new in v2.0

What changed in this edition.

  • Teaches the real instruments: Nexus Memory (Sessions, Decisions & Learnings, Risks, Corrections, Lineage), Nexus Search operators such as filetype:, search_vault, Reports and the Morning Brief, the ontology graph and Graph Editor.
  • POPE is taught as the POPE-Tagging Standard v1.1 (Persons, Organizations, Places, Events). The v1 'tier' ladder was retired; standard stages now live in a status field and recorded decisions.
  • The six-stage cycle is taught as your method, carried out with real tools, not as platform behavior, and capture runs through record_decision and record_learning.
  • New lessons on the Correction & Supersession standard, the read limit on large index files, and session files created at session open.
  • Discontinued service-engagement content was removed; the course is re-levelled to Foundation with AI role-play labs and a fresh exam bank.
Outcomes

What you will be able to do.

  • You will be able to answer analytical questions about an organization's memory with reproducible queries in Nexus Memory, Nexus Search and search_vault.
  • You will be able to measure memory growth and cognitive health, including retrieval precision, recall, MRR and nDCG on a labelled query set.
  • You will be able to run Monitor, Search and Analyze as a routine and decide with the durability gate whether a pattern is ready for a briefing.
  • You will be able to brief patterns so the Operations Controller decides in the room, and record those decisions.
  • You will be able to codify approved patterns as standards with testable requirements, path citations and correct POPE tags.
  • You will be able to govern standards through adoption, drift, refresh, Correction & Supersession and retirement.
  • You will be able to receive an Implementation Specialist handoff and report business outcomes to executives without vanity metrics.

Who it's for

  • Data and business analysts with a qualitative-analysis orientation
  • Knowledge managers moving into AI memory roles
  • Consultants with pattern-identification strengths
  • Internal Implementation Specialists continuing into steady-state capture (Standard §11.5 stacking path)

Not covered here

  • Platform maintenance, upgrades and capacity (Maintenance Specialist)
  • Promotion authority over standards (Operations Controller: you propose, they decide)
  • Audit authority (Security Controller) and access decisions (Access Controller)

Labs and capstone

Practice against someone who pushes back.

Labs run in your browser as AI role-plays. An AI plays the person on the other side of the scenario — with their own goals and objections — and your work is scored against the published rubric. There is nothing to install.

  • Lab 1 · Memory growth and cognitive health

    AI role-play: build a cognitive health scorecard from a fictional law firm's 90-day memory extract and defend it to an Operations Controller who wants one number

  • Lab 2 · Pattern analysis: Monitor, Search, Analyze

    AI role-play: run Monitor, Search and Analyze on three candidates from a fictional engineering consultancy's 90-day extract with an opinionated senior engineer

  • Lab 3 · Present and Codify: from pattern to standard

    AI role-play: brief an AI-played Operations Controller and Managing Director on three patterns, handle challenge, and capture decisions

  • Lab 4 · Handoff reception

    AI role-play: receive a §11.5 handoff from an AI-played external Implementation Specialist with the Operations Controller present

  • Lab 5 · Executive reporting, coordination and capstone

    AI role-play: write and defend an outcome-led quarterly executive report to an AI-played sponsor who wants vanity metrics

  • Lab 6 · Executive reporting, coordination and capstone

    AI role-play: one compressed steady-state cycle for a fictional consultancy, from evidence to executive summary

Questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need to install anything for the labs?

No. Labs and the capstone run in your browser on learn.brrain.io as AI role-plays: an AI plays the person on the other side of the scenario, and your work is scored against the rubric published with the course.

How is the exam delivered?

Online and timed: 47 items in 75 minutes, on a form assembled for you from the course's item bank. 2 of the items are performance tasks conducted by an AI examiner: you do the work rather than pick an answer. The pass mark is 70%.

What if I don't pass first time?

You have 2 attempts, with a 7-day wait after an unsuccessful attempt. Further exam attempts can be bought for $299 each.

How long is the credential valid?

2 years. You receive a verifiable digital badge with a public verification page at learn.brrain.io/verify, so anyone can confirm it is genuine.

I hold the v1 credential. Is it still valid?

Yes. Credentials earned on v1 remain valid and verifiable at learn.brrain.io/verify. When you renew, you sit the then-current version of the exam.

Can my company enroll a team?

Yes. Firms can buy a certification bundle for $2,999 per firm per year — see the pricing page — or contact us to arrange enrollment for a larger group.
