Reviewing the finished project against your brief
Go back to the brief you wrote in Phase 2 and the charter from Phase 1, and score the result honestly. This is the lesson that turns one project into a repeatable skill.
Not planted yet — but the plan for it is final

In the meantime the checklist is genuinely usable on its own. Take it outside.
