Pathway / Innovator
Own the question. Defend the method. Report the limitation.
Innovator supports independent enquiry with defined review points; independence does not remove supervision, safety or accountability.
A proposal review is required before any high-complexity build or public-facing project begins.OPENQUESTION

BIAA / BRIEF
The learner develops the brief
A proposal identifies the problem, intended contribution, prior work, constraints, method, milestones and evidence plan. Scope is challenged before construction begins.
02
BIAA / REVIEW
Review points protect both rigour and momentum
Mentor reviews focus on assumptions, safety, method, evidence and authorship. They do not replace learner decisions or turn the project into a prewritten recipe.

BIAA / COMMUNICATION
A final claim must remain proportional
The learner separates demonstrated results from interpretation and future possibility. A prototype is labelled as a prototype; a small test is not generalised into a deployment claim.
