Day 1: Why Early Yield Problems Aren’t Caused by Production — The critical mindset shift that separates high-yield teams from firefighting ones and how to fix yield bottlenecks where they actually begin: layout validation.

Day 2: The Tools Killing Your Validation Speed — Why production-grade tools quietly sabotage experimental design learning and how benchtop validation restores iteration and momentum.

Day 3: The Strategic Shift That Saves Millions — Why the fastest teams don’t chase CapEx… they optimize for learning velocity. See how to accelerate yield without locking up budget

Day 4: How Top Teams Build Yield Into the Lab — The underrated upgrades in tooling access and workflow that improve learning cycles, reduce rework, and boost morale before the first wafer even prints.

Day 5: How Smart CTOs Are Creating Yield Signals Before Tapeout — A behind-the-scenes look at how engineering teams are getting real yield feedback in Week 2—not Week 12—and using it to win faster, fund smarter, and de-risk their roadmap.
