## 1. Problem

Who was the work for? What needed to change or be understood? Link the brief.
Distinguish research findings from assumptions.

## 2. My contribution

What did I personally produce? What did others provide? What sources, assets,
tools, or AI assistance did I use? Follow the relevant disclosure requirements.

## 3. Decisions

Choose two decisions that materially affected the work. For each, explain:

## 4. Evidence

| Claim or requirement | Artifact link | Where to inspect it | Access instructions |

Use a format appropriate to the work: implementation, prototype, analysis,
campaign assets, business recommendation, process map, or supporting files.
Add setup instructions or a data dictionary where needed.

## 5. Checks, feedback, and revisions

| Check or feedback | Expected result | Observed result | Revision and evidence |
