Module 5: Portfolio & Specialization Assessment: Guided Labs

Lab 1: Evidence Audit

Map every public claim to code, test, diagram, deployment, trace, measurement, or review evidence. Remove or qualify unsupported claims and sanitize private material.

Lab 2: Case Study

Write problem, constraints, approach, decisions, implementation, verification, operations, outcomes, limitations, and next steps for a technical reviewer.

Lab 3: Defense Rehearsal

Record a ten-minute walkthrough plus hostile questions. Repair every answer that lacks evidence, a tradeoff, or a failure case.

Lab 4: External Review and Specialization

Obtain review from a credible engineer, close blocking feedback, then select the next specialization from demonstrated strengths and gaps.

Evidence: claim ledger, public-safe packet, case study, recording, feedback closure, and next-step plan.
