Understand the options

Module goal Know what edge AI and IoT can genuinely help with, decide whether to think on the device, on the cloud, or a mix of both, and see all three cost buckets clearly.

About 90 minutes in total. No code, no board needed.

Lesson	Topic	Time
biz.m01.l01	What edge AI and IoT can and cannot do	30 min
biz.m01.l02	Edge, cloud or hybrid	30 min
biz.m01.l03	Cost, BOM, time and team	30 min

End-of-module checkpoint

• Your problem statement covers all three parts (what to measure, what to decide, who acts on it next) and you can say which step of the pre-AI ladder it stops at
• You have chosen edge, cloud or hybrid for your problem, with a reason across at least two dimensions
• You have a list of the three cost buckets, and a list of questions to ask a vendor or contractor

These three things are the raw material for the decision canvas in the next module. Keep them safe.
