Final milestone
Show what you can now explain, evaluate, or make.
Use this pathway to complete one small piece of evidence: identify who benefits, who may be excluded, and who bears risk; match safeguards to the consequence of the task; document who can question, correct, or stop the system. Document what you tried, what you checked, what changed, and the next question you still need to answer.
