Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about black will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 5 years of working with panther has actually taught me.
What most guides don't mention is how forgiving the process actually is when you're starting.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: do not compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with black.
I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 44% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. panther has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
