A complete worked example

Worked example: one capstone from charter to submission

The question changed once, early, for a good reason. Approval was requested before it was needed, and the waiting time was used productively. The buffer absorbed a slip without moving the draft. Every claim was kept at the strength the design could support.

The example is fictional: it demonstrates the method and is not evidence of results for any particular person.

  1. Cards 1–2 — Charter and question
  2. Card 3 — Approvals
  3. Card 4 — Backward plan
  4. Cards 5–6 — Evidence matrix and method
  5. Card 7 — Collected vs planned
  6. Card 8 — Claims check
  7. Card 9 — Supervisor meeting (week 15)
  8. Cards 10–11 — Drafting and version control
  9. Card 12 — Submission (week 24)
