Tutorials

The tutorials trace the user’s path through jinflow. They are short — most run in 10–20 minutes of actual doing — and each one stands alone. Start with Your First Build if you’ve never run jinflow make before. Otherwise pick whichever one matches the next thing you want to learn.

Hands-on tutorials

Walk-throughs you can run on your own machine, in order of natural progression.

#	Tutorial	Time	What you’ll learn
1	Your First Build	15 min	Zero to exploring findings — a complete pipeline from scratch.
2	From Finding to Verdict	20 min	Write a thesis to test a finding, write a verdict to explain the root cause.
3	Capturing Expert Knowledge	10 min	Capture institutional knowledge as a Subject Matter entry, add a Check, bundle into a Dossier.
4	Exploring with evolve	15 min	Pair with jinflow’s AI colleague to investigate without writing SQL.
5	Onboarding a New Tenant	15 min	Receive source data, init, extract, build, snapshot.
6	The first weeks with a new tenant	~4 weeks	What actually happens after init. The honest path from bytes to a confirmed thesis.
7	Publishing a Domain Pack	20 min	Package your analytical framework for reuse across tenants.

You don’t have to do them in order. #1 and #2 build on each other; the rest stand alone. #6 is the only one that isn’t a sit-down session — it’s a roadmap for real onboarding work. Read Setup is the analysis first for the framing.

Showcases

End-to-end walkthroughs of real packs, showing what the engine produces when you let it loose on a domain. These are narrated reads, not hands-on — for when you want to see jinflow’s output before deciding to install it.

Showcase	Pack	Tenant	Scope
From Case to Verdict	nuMetrix	Inspire	Hospital material flow — cases, billing, materials, prices, supply organisations.
From Person to Verdict	hrcentral	Val d’Oria Academic Institutions	Workforce & academic operations — persons, assignments, projects, infrastructure.

Both showcases use synthetic but realistically-shaped tenants the team uses internally to validate every release. The numbers, signals, and verdicts you see are computed from real builds — they’re not mocked.

Where this fits

The tutorials sit between the Quick Start (which gets jinflow installed) and the Concepts section (which explains the design). If you prefer to learn by doing, walk the tutorial ladder. If you prefer to learn by reading, the Concepts section is your road.

Reference material — every YAML field, every command flag — lives in the CLI reference and the YAML reference pages (Signal, Entity, and siblings). The Glossary defines every term in the vocabulary.
