Welcome to the Capstone

Work through the explanation, apply it to the example, and complete the quick check before continuing.

Text description of the visual

The figure introduces the capstone roadmap. It shows three pathway choices: research and synthesis, writing or communication, and planning or analysis. It then lists the ten required artefacts: task and intended-user statement, success criteria and boundaries, input register with classification and permission, tool-selection rationale, workflow specification with stages, owners, handoffs, and autonomy level, prompt or instruction set where generative AI is used, output-review rubric and evidence log, responsible-use controls with human decisions and stop conditions, test record with at least one defect and revision, and final workflow with reflection. The figure reminds learners to use only supplied, public, fictional, or safely prepared synthetic information and to revise until every essential rubric criterion reaches Meets.

You will design and defend one reusable AI-assisted workflow. Choose research and synthesis, writing or communication, or planning and analysis. Read the capstone brief, pathways, rubric, submission template, and worked example before starting.

Use only supplied, public, fictional, or safely prepared synthetic information. More automation does not earn a higher result. Choose the simplest autonomy level that fits the task.

Completion requires Meets on every essential criterion. You may revise. Unsafe data handling, absent verification, missing human authority, or an untested workflow cannot be balanced by polished writing.

First choose a pathway and explain in two sentences why it fits your intended deliverable.
