What you need first

Module 6 (the hybrid Search, its filters and bars, reciprocal rank fusion)
Module 5 (access filters that fail closed) and Module 4 (recall@k, MRR, the paired bootstrap)
Module 1's setup: a free Groq or Gemini key, hollin/llm.py and the ask guard
Pydantic models for structured replies. On a Mac, read "FAISS and PyTorch together" in course-guide/02

This course is bought on its own, once, and stays readable afterwards, including the parts added to it later.
