I’ll give you one tip, buy the correct tools and have a few practice runs before you start the job.

Buy the proper type of MI cable. They have fire rated and non-fire rated. What is spec'ed. Probably fire rated if it is in a stairway.

I had used MI cable in the past, when I didn't have enough room for conduit to get from "here to there", and MI Cable can be used in free air. If the reason to use MI in your case is to use the free air ampacity tables, then do not install it in trough.

For example Pyrotenax System 1850Z is 2-hour firerated, and System 1850 is non-fire-rated.
