              MAKE YOUR LEARNING VISIBLE

              How you will practise and be assessed.

              The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.

              1. 01

                Build the promised result

                Demonstrate the promised artifact

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                No write tool or unrestricted filesystem access; invalid inputs and missing records are tested.

              2. 02

                Test a limit or failure

                Change one supplied assumption or remove one required input for a read-only mcp server for synthetic business records; identify the limitation rather than inventing success.

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                The documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.

              3. 03

                Apply it independently

                Independently explain and change one assumption in a read-only mcp server for synthetic business records.

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                The learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
