Week 7: "Going Pro" | Day 3 of 5 Theme: Build complete AI pipelines with proper error handling at every step

What Is a Pipeline?

A pipeline is a series of steps where the output of one step becomes the input of the next.

INPUT
  │
  ▼
[Step 1: Validate Input]
  │ fail → error handler
  ▼
[Step 2: Enrich with Data]
  │ fail → fallback
  ▼
[Step 3: Call AI API]
  │ fail → retry logic
  ▼
[Step 4: Parse Response]
  │ fail → retry with corrected prompt
  ▼
[Step 5: Format Output]
  │

OUTPUT

Real software breaks at any of those steps. A professional pipeline handles each failure gracefully.

Today: build a complete, bulletproof soccer intelligence pipeline.
