Method matrix
Three delivery modes compared across mentoring depth, artifact load, and time commitment.
| Dimension | Signal | Relay (recommended) | Beacon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live hours / month | 2 async reviews | 3 live + 2 async | 6 live + unlimited async thread |
| Artifact load | Light PDFs | PDF + CI manifests | PDF + manifests + workshop deck |
| Best for | Solo engineers probing one course | Pairs wanting critique + shipping templates | Squads aligning risk maps with automation |
| Office hour credits | None bundled | 6 hours included | 12 hours / quarter |
Why Relay stays highlighted
Relay balances live attention with enough async space for day jobs. Teams that only need one course should pick Signal; Beacon remains for org-wide facilitation.
