Tom Roberts introduces himself and the Nerd Series, laying out the philosophy and approach that drives the training.

The core premise: stop being a slave to printed diagnostic procedures and trouble charts. Instead, develop a problem-solving framework you can apply to new and unfamiliar situations — using the service literature for reference, not as a crutch.

This module sets the stage for what's ahead in Nerd I, including the emphasis on lab scope diagnostics (LSD) as a primary diagnostic tool.
