What to hand in (and what counts as done)

Your capstone submission includes four components:

1. The Final Output

Your completed presentation, report, content series, or study guide. This should be polished and ready to use — not a rough draft. It should reflect the quality improvements that come from applying the full READY Method.

2. Your READY Journal

Write 1-2 paragraphs for each stage of the READY Method, describing the decisions you made and why:

• Recognise: What was your goal? How did you define success? What constraints did you identify?
• Evaluate: What was your delegation plan? Which tasks did you give to AI and which did you keep? What mode did you use for each, and why?
• Articulate: What prompting strategies did you use? What worked well? What didn't land on the first attempt?
• Determine: How did you evaluate the AI's output? What did you catch that needed fixing? How many rounds of iteration did it take?
• Your Responsibility: What did you add, change, or override? Where did your human expertise make the biggest difference?

3. Your Transparency Statement

A brief, honest disclosure appropriate to the context of your project. This should be something you'd be comfortable attaching to the actual deliverable if you used it professionally.

4. Your Reflection

Answer this question in 3-5 sentences: What would you do differently next time?

Consider: Did you delegate too much or too little? Were your prompts specific enough from the start? Did you catch quality issues early or late? What stage of READY felt strongest and which needs more practice?
