01
You own the design. Someone else owns the decision.
The option you know is right gets cut in a meeting you were not in, on a spreadsheet you never saw. Fluency is what gets you into that room.
For civil, structural & software engineers
You can read a load path.
Can you read a P&L?
Two skills. Six sessions, online. Read a company’s financial statements well enough to know where your bonus and career stand, and run the numbers that get your designs approved. Taught by two coaches who between them hold the finance credentials and have run the engineering projects.
Free. No call required. One email, the syllabus attached.

The gap
Your technical judgment stops at the point where money starts.
Engineers are trained to be right. Organisations promote people who can be right and defend the number. That second skill is not taught in any engineering programme, and generic business content does not close it.
02
The ceiling is linguistic, not technical.
Senior engineer to project or programme lead is a change of language (cash flow, margin, risk-adjusted return), not a change of competence.
03
You already do the hard part.
A discounted cash flow is a load case applied over time. Sensitivity analysis is a safety factor with an argument attached. The maths is not the obstacle. The vocabulary is.
04
Generic business content does not transfer.
Consumer-brand case studies will not teach you to price a variation claim, defend a contingency, or argue for capex against a payback threshold.
How it works
Four steps. Nothing theoretical.
Every cohort is anchored to work you are actually doing. You bring a live project, a real budget, or a decision you have to defend this quarter.
- Live time
- 9 hours, online
- Your own time
- About 1 hour a week
- Start to finish
- Six weeks

Step 01
Syllabus, then a call
Ask for the syllabus and it arrives by email. Reply and we find 45 minutes: we map your current role, the role you want, and the specific commercial gap between them. Written summary follows, whether or not you join.
-
Step 02
Bring your project
You nominate one live project, budget or decision from your own work. Every session applies to it. You are not working through invented case studies. You do not need to share confidential company data. Use anonymised or rounded numbers.
-
Step 03
Six coaching blocks
Weekly, live, small group. Each session ends with one artefact you keep: a model, a forecast, a costed argument. No video library. Recordings stay available for 14 days.
-
Step 04
Applied review
You present a real decision to the coaches and your cohort, and defend it. You leave with a one-page memo in the form your management actually reads.
The coaches
Credentialled in finance. Experienced in engineering.
Two coaches, both sides of the table. Neither teaches from a textbook they have not worked from.
Hardworking, even on Sunday.

Cohort one
NT$12,000. Groups of 15 to 20. Starts 15 December.
One price, published, because you should not have to book a call to find out what something costs.
NT$12,000
per seat · founding cohort
Standard price from cohort two: NT$24,000. You are paying half because you are going first.
- Six live online sessions, 90 minutes each (nine hours of small-group coaching)
- 15 to 20 participants per cohort
- Six artefacts you keep, including a DCF, IRR and PI calculator you build yourself
- Every session applied to a live project of your own
- Payment by bank transfer, with payment confirmation. No subscription, no card on file.
What the half price buys us
A written testimonial we may attribute to you by name, and twenty minutes of honest feedback after session six. That is the whole trade, and it is why cohort one costs what it costs.
Session one, or your money back
Come to the first session. If it is not what you expected, tell us before session two and we refund the full amount. No forms, no reasons required.
What else costs
- An MBA
- NT$1M+ · two years
- CFA, three levels
- Exams · no coaching
- This
- NT$12,000 · six weeks
None of those teach you to defend a number in front of your own management. That is the only thing this does.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Anything not covered here, just ask by email.
No. We assume competence with numbers and zero exposure to financial statements. Session one starts at what a balance sheet actually is and why the two sides balance, then moves fast, because the arithmetic is not the difficulty.
An MBA teaches general management across two years and a large fee. A CFA prepares you for an exam. This is neither: six sessions aimed at one outcome: being able to build, present and defend the commercial case for engineering work. If you want the credential, sit the exam. If you want the fluency next quarter, start here.
Yes. Capex versus opex, unit economics, payback, cost of capital and contract risk behave the same whether the asset is a tunnel or a platform. Infrastructure examples appear because that is where our coaches have run the numbers; the mechanics transfer directly, and your own project is what we work on.
Six weekly sessions of 90 minutes online, plus about an hour of applied work between them on your own project. Six weeks end to end. Tuesdays 20:00 to 21:30 Taiwan time: 15 Dec, 22 Dec, 29 Dec, 5 Jan, 12 Jan, 19 Jan. Miss a session? You get the recording for 14 days. There is no make-up session.
Sessions are taught in English. Questions in Vietnamese are welcome.
