Lifecycle: design to next design

The loop that matters: what was assumed, what happened, and what a person wrote down that it implies.

EXAMPLE DATA

1 · DESIGN

Assumptions on record

3 verified from the appraisal, 1 refused. Each carries its page.

2 · IMPLEMENTATION

What actually happened

2 indicators have readings. The engine compares them to the assumptions.

3 · NEXT DESIGN

What it implies

Written down by a person, or still missing. Nothing infers it.

CAPTURED · pdo1_midtermDirector, Textbooks · 4 Oct 2026

Mid-term reach was assumed from national enrolment. District records show far fewer eligible Grade 3 pupils. Revise the mid-term target to 3,453 and re-baseline before the next design.

CAPTURE · ir1_midterm

Assumed 62%, observed 47%. What does this variance imply for the next design?

Write what it implies…

A BLANK IS REFUSED · IMPLICATION_BLANK
A capture with nothing written is not a capture.

THE LOOP IS NOT CLOSED

1 of 2 capturable assumptions captured

The loop closes when a next-design link exists, written by a person. Re-uploading the same appraisal document is not a next design and never counts.

On a phone the screen is shown as a small layout preview. Open this page on a larger screen to read it, or read the points below.

What this screen shows

Each assumption shows assumed against observed, and whether a next-design capture exists.
A capture with nothing written is refused.
Re-uploading the same appraisal is not a next design and never closes the loop.

Why it works this way

Most tools record what was planned and what happened. This one also asks what was learned, and will not pretend it was recorded when it was not.
