Final standard​

You are architect-ready when you can design a Datasphere landscape from business requirements, explain every major decision, quantify major risks and costs, and describe how the platform behaves in normal operation, failure, migration, and growth.

Masterclass completion principle: know the platform, understand the system, defend the architecture.
