# ROOT Pilot Curriculum — Authoritative Manifest
**Updated for Phase 6F**: `docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md` is now the canonical technical
definition of ROOT_ V1 scope (what's included/excluded and why). This document's own course-by-
course pilot table below remains accurate but its Phase 6E-era claim about three practice-bank
modules needing instructor-led delivery is now stale — see the correction immediately below.
This is the single authoritative answer to "what are we actually teaching in the first paid
pilot." It uses honest READY / PARTIAL / DEFERRED / NOT IN PILOT labels — nothing here is
marketed as more finished than it is. See

## Pilot delivery mode: instructor-led (cohort-based), with a fully self-paced foundation
## Pilot delivery mode: fully self-paced-capable as of Phase 6F
The first pilot is scoped as **instructor-led** as its recommended default, not because most of
the curriculum requires it — as of Phase 6E, ROOT 01-04 (the entire foundational half) and every
Kubernetes/security/troubleshooting/real-ops/capstone module EXCEPT three specific practice-bank
modules meet the full self-paced bar (no "your instructor will explain this" gaps, verified
programmatically). Those three flagged modules — dense hands-on practice banks whose sibling
module in the same course already carries the taught concept — are READY for instructor-led
delivery only; running them live lets an instructor supply framing a self-paced student wouldn't
get. Fully self-paced delivery of those specific modules is deferred to a future phase pending an
authored teaching layer for each. See Section 16 discussion below.
As of Phase 6E, ROOT 01-04 (the entire foundational half) met the full self-paced bar. Three
specific practice-bank modules (`root-06-m01`, `root-07-m01`, `root-10-m02`) were flagged as
instructor-led-only — dense hands-on scenario banks with no lesson framing of their own.
**Phase 6F closed this gap**: each received a short, real intro-lesson activity explaining what
the bank is and how to use it (`docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md` Step 4) — all three, and
their parent courses, are now genuinely self-paced-ready. Instructor-led delivery remains fully
supported and recommended for a first cohort, but is no longer required by any content gap.
