V1Scenario

Concrete workplace scenario

Your manager says: “Give me the final Month 1 diagnostic: what did we actually produce, what is safe to reuse, what is limited, and what should Part 2 build next?”

It sounds like a graduation summary. The trap is that D30 must be a diagnostic handoff: usable evidence, limits, repair residue, and Part 2 context needs must be visible.

V2Worked answer before the table

Worked answer

Bad example first: the big-summary shortcut fails

Weak example

“Month 1 proves we can use AI across the workflow. Next month we will scale it.”

What goes wrong

The weak version contains proves, across the workflow, scale it, no limitation, no Part 2 context need.

Work-ready version: use the day rule

Produced

Which concrete artifacts exist?

Usable evidence

What can safely be reused?

Limit

What is not proven yet?

Part 2 need

What context or repair should D31 receive?

V3Decision fork

Quick decision check

A monthly diagnostic hands off usable evidence, not hype rule

Use this rule before filling the monthly table. The goal is a concrete handoff from accumulated evidence, not a polished empty summary.

Q1Monthly

Monthly diagnostic request

A manager wants a concise end-of-month answer: what was produced, what is usable, what remains limited, and what Part 2 should build next.

Monthly answer

What did Month 1 produce, and what is safe to reuse?

Part 2 answer

What context packet should D31 receive?

Q2Artifact handoff

Artifact handoff

Previous artifact

D29 month_1_gap_repair_plan.md

Next artifact

D31 Prompt vs Context / context_template_seed.md

Learning checkpoint: Use the previous artifact as working input, produce today's artifact, and hand it forward with evidence, limitation, owner, and repair needs visible.

Q3Diagnostic

Diagnostic lens

Diagnose the Month 1 foundation, package the usable production evidence, and hand off a clear context packet to Part 2.

  • Package only usable evidence.
  • Name strongest defensible claims.
  • Name limitations plainly.
  • Translate Month 1 into Part 2 context needs.
EXWorked answer

Honest monthly diagnostic

The final Part 1 handoff should say what is usable, what is limited, and what Part 2 needs next. Repair-first honesty beats a bigger unsupported claim.

Worked answer

The final Part 1 handoff should say what is usable, what is limited, and what Part 2 needs next. Repair-first honesty beats a bigger unsupported claim.

Repair move

Only hand off evidence that has a limitation and context need. Anything unresolved becomes repair-first, not portfolio-ready.

MPMicro-practice

Part 2 handoff check

Only hand off evidence that has a limitation and context need. Anything unresolved becomes repair-first, not portfolio-ready.

RFRepair-first

Repair-first honesty check

A monthly or boss-facing page should expose the weakest usable item before it claims the strongest result. Mark repair, owner, and decision impact before export.

Read this card before filling the dense table below; copy the answer density, not the wording.

Accumulated milestone diagnostic example

Produced: D7 safe-use map, D14 reusable prompt case, D21 deliverable v1 evidence pack, D28 foundation pack, and D29 repair decisions. Usable now: D7 boundary and D14 approved prompt case. Limited: D21/D28 still have small-sample and manager-review limits. Repair residue: D28 README needs clearer use boundary. Part 2 need: D31 receives a context template seeded with evidence packet, review rule, and owner/approval path.

PACKETD31 context seed

Part 2 handoff packet

D30 is not a bigger monthly summary. It is the packet D31 receives: what is usable, what is limited, what was repaired or excluded, and what context rule Part 2 should continue.

Diagnostic packet

Use D7/D14/D21/D28/D29 to choose the evidence Part 2 can safely build on.

D31 hook

End with a context seed: evidence packet, review rule, owner/approval path, limitation, and first Part 2 test.

Q4Build

Build the diagnostic handoff packet

Starter row / sample row standard

Before filling all rows, model one row as a paid-course receipt: concrete source, evidence, limitation, owner/review, and next action. Do not export rows that only repeat defaults.

Complete three diagnostic rows: one usable claim, one limited/repair-residue claim, and one D31 context seed.

Q5Part

D31 context seed handoff

Do not hand off to Part 2 without naming what context, evidence, and review rules Part 2 needs.

V5Repair pass

Repair one weak claim

Use this pass to find the monthly claim that would sound impressive but fail as evidence before export.

Repair example

Weak row: Month 1 proves the AI workflow is ready to scale.

Repair move: Replace broad claim with produced artifact, usable evidence, limitation, and D31 context need.

Better row: Produced: D7 safe-use map, D14 reusable prompt case, D21 deliverable v1 evidence pack, D28 foundation pack, and D29 repair decisions. Usable now: D7 boundary and D14 approved prompt case. Limited: D21/D28 still have small-sample and manager-review limits. Repair residue: D28 README needs clearer use boundary. Part 2 need: D31 receives a context template seeded with evidence packet, review rule, and owner/approval path.

Choose the claim you can defend with accumulated artifacts and evidence.

Choose the claim most likely to overstate progress or hide missing evidence.

Sentence starter: This monthly claim is weak because ___. I will repair it by adding ___ or excluding it from the handoff.

QXExport artifact

Export artifact

This file is today’s work receipt. It should prove what Month 1 actually produced from accumulated artifacts, not just summarize progress.

Before you export

  • Does the diagnostic name concrete D7/D14/D21/D28/D29 evidence?
  • Does it separate usable claims from limitations and repair residue?
  • Does it give D31 a clear context packet need instead of vague next steps?

What this artifact proves: This diagnostic packet proves what Month 1 can safely hand to D31: usable evidence, limits, repair residue, review rule, and context seed.

Weak export: Month 1 proves the AI workflow is ready to scale.

Good export: Produced: D7 safe-use map, D14 reusable prompt case, D21 deliverable v1 evidence pack, D28 foundation pack, and D29 repair decisions. Usable now: D7 boundary and D14 approved prompt case. Limited: D21/D28 still have small-sample and manager-review limits. Repair residue: D28 README needs clearer use boundary. Part 2 need: D31 receives a context template seeded with evidence packet, review rule, and owner/approval path.
