## Understand Performance foundations

In **LLM Engineering Foundations**, connect the goal, constraints, risks, and measurable outcome before selecting a workflow.

## Practise deliberately

Use a small, safe example and verify one result before expanding it.

## A useful comparison

Treat this as a route plan: every step should lead to a checked destination.

Check your reasoning.
