Complete and review the capstone
Prepare a reviewable weekly project update for the fictional Willow Team. You will use the manual procedure from Module 7, check a normal source pack, then run it again with changed information. Your final submission should show both useful work and the evidence that makes it trustworthy.
This is the course’s summative self-assessment. No independent assessor or accredited qualification is implied. The proposed completion standard is 80 out of 100 plus every mandatory safety and accuracy gate below. Correcting a failed gate is required even when the total score is high.
What you will demonstrate
- Select safe input and define a bounded task.
- Write a clear brief and preserve the supplied facts, conditions and unknowns.
- Verify material claims, dates, owners and simple calculations.
- Produce useful writing and an action list without inventing commitments.
- Run a repeatable manual workflow on two packs and record a human review decision.
Before you begin
Complete Modules 1 to 7 and bring your saved workflow. Use an approved text-chat assistant, a text editor and a calculator. No paid subscription, upload, code, external integration or automation is required. Only the supplied fictional material may be used. Do not send a message, book a venue, purchase anything or update a real project system.
The two complete source packs accompany this module:
- Pack A — normal case (module-8-source-pack-a.txt)
- Pack B — changed-input case (module-8-source-pack-b.txt)
Each includes meeting notes of about 650 words, a 12-row register, an operating note and a dated amendment. The files contain inputs only, so you can copy them without copying the answer key. If either pack is missing, obtain the companion file before starting; do not invent a replacement.
The snapshots are self-contained. Do not use facts from earlier modules, and do not apply one pack’s amendment to the other pack. Every person, organisation, event and operational record is fictional. All reference outputs later in this module are illustrative, not recorded live-tool runs.
Suggested project schedule
Plan for about 120 minutes:
- Briefing and planning: 15 minutes.
- Inspect sources and prepare the input: 15 minutes.
- Produce the Pack A bundle: 35 minutes.
- Verify and correct Pack A: 20 minutes.
- Run the changed-input test with Pack B: 15 minutes.
- Package the evidence: 10 minutes.
- Score the submission and reflect: 10 minutes.
The timing is provisional. Take the time needed to check the work. Tool limits, breaks and account setup are outside this estimate. Do not sacrifice verification to meet a target time.

Five parts of the submission demonstrate safe scope, faithful outputs, verification, repeatability and reflection. The entire bundle must meet the hundred point rubric and all mandatory gates.
