Coursera: the full 42-page Intelligence Brief
Retention Risk, Partner Erosion, AI Tradeoffs, and Regulatory Exposure
Last week’s Coursera analysis generated strong engagement and private follow-up from readers who need more depth. What stood out was how quickly the analysis circulated among people closest to the platform itself.
Today, we’re sharing the full 42-page intelligence brief.
This is a decision-grade teardown for organizations that compete with, partner with, sell into, or are strategically exposed to Coursera’s platform. It examines Coursera’s operating model, enterprise retention, partner economics, content and AI strategy, UX trust issues, and regulatory exposure, then translates those findings into competitive openings and strategic scenarios for 2026–2028.
