All six briefs

Proof portfolio

Present a coherent body of evidence an evaluator can inspect in five minutes.

Capstone

What you can do after this week

You can present five weeks of work so an evaluator can judge your decisions in five minutes.

What you hand in

A public portfolio page, a 4–6 minute walkthrough, and your final report as a PDF.

About 5–6 hours

Where it can live

  • Notion or Carrd for the page — recommended
  • Framer, a slide-based site, or a coded page
  • Report as a PDF in Google Drive

Make the link openable

These three links go on your public registry page, so a stranger will open them. Check all three in incognito, and check the page on your phone.

Required contents

Everything the work must contain

7 items
  1. 01A short professional introduction, and the role or next step you are aiming at.
  2. 02Five case studies, one per week from 1 to 5.
  3. 03For each: the problem and user, your constraints, the decisions you made, the inspectable output, and what changed or failed.
  4. 04Direct links to every underlying public artifact.
  5. 05A capability summary grounded in that evidence.
  6. 06Contact details you are comfortable publishing.
  7. 07Do not claim employment, client work, partnerships, results, or metrics that did not happen.

Before you submit

Open every link in a private or incognito window before you submit. If it asks you to sign in or to request access, your reviewer will see exactly the same thing.

Links you will paste

3 separate links

  • Portfolio page URL

    The public page holding all five case studies.

  • Walkthrough URL

    4–6 minutes explaining the work, not reading the page aloud.

    Completed using the final-report handbook.

  • Anything your reviewer should knowoptional

    Optional.

Acceptance rubric

The brief

How to build it

Week 6 - Publish a Proof-of-Work Portfolio

Capability

Present a coherent body of work so an evaluator can understand the problem, inspect the evidence, and judge your decisions in five minutes. This is not a gallery of screenshots and tool logos.

Curate the Story

Use the domain thread that connected your six weeks. For each artifact, explain:

  • the problem and intended user;
  • your role and constraints;
  • the process and important decisions;
  • the inspectable output;
  • what failed, changed, or improved;
  • what the work demonstrates.

Do not claim employment, client work, partnerships, results, or metrics that did not occur.

Build the Portfolio

Create a public page with:

  • a concise professional introduction;
  • your domain focus and intended role or next step;
  • five project case studies from Weeks 1-5;
  • direct links to the underlying public artifacts;
  • a short capability summary grounded in evidence;
  • contact details you are comfortable publishing.

Notion, Carrd, Framer, a slide-based site, or a coded page is acceptable. Accessibility and clarity matter more than animation.

Walkthrough and Final Report

Record a 4-6 minute walkthrough that explains the work rather than reading the page aloud. Complete the final report using the handbook in content/reference/final-report-handbook.md. Include specific changes in your judgment, process, or capability, supported by project examples.

Read your portfolio page on a phone before you hand it in. Most of the people you send it to will open it there first.

Reading is free and always will be. Applying gets you the review — a person who reads what you built against the rubric above.
