+# C01-1 Checkpoint Proposal: Design Brief Ready
+
+**Status:** Proposal (pending Jeremy's approval)
+**Created:** 2026-04-12
+**Source:** TKT-004 — C1-1 Assessment Package
+
+---
+
+## Checkpoint A: Design Brief Ready
+
+This checkpoint gates C1-1 (Design Brief Presentation). A student who completes all items is ready to join the presentation queue. A student who hasn't completed the checkpoint uses class time to finish --- naturally reducing their validation time and depth.
+
+### Student Self-Check Criteria
+
+Students can check each item themselves before the lesson:
+
+1. **Problem/need/opportunity stated** --- Brief has a clear section naming a specific, concrete problem, need, or opportunity.
+2. **Solution described** --- Brief explains what the software does and how it addresses the problem. A reader unfamiliar with the project could understand the idea.
+3. **Users identified and described** --- Primary and secondary users are named with enough detail to picture them (not just "students" but specific types of users with context).
+4. **Programming language stated with reasons** --- Language or framework is named with an explanation of why it suits the project.
+5. **Feasibility and originality addressed** --- Brief includes a section on whether the project is achievable and what makes it different.
+6. **Artefact ready** --- Brief committed to GitHub, printed copy in hand, cue card prepared (quarter A4, key talking points only), practiced presenting at least once timed at ~5 minutes.
+
+### Teacher Quick Check (circulating, <60 seconds per student)
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|-------|-----------------|
+| Printed brief | Physical copy on desk, covers all 5 content sections. They exist and say something specific. |
+| Cue card | Quarter A4 or smaller. Key words, not a script. |
+| Quick verbal | "In one sentence, what problem does your project solve?" Clear + specific = ready. |
+
+### Feedback Prompts (done to strong)
+
+| Area | Prompt |
+|------|--------|
+| Problem too vague | "Your problem is generic. Which specific people have this problem and when?" |
+| Users generic | "You say 'teachers and students.' What does a teacher actually do with your app first?" |
+| Language thin | "You chose Python. Why Python and not something else? What does it give you?" |
+| Feasibility missing | "I see what you're building but not why you can build it. What's your argument?" |
+| Originality unclear | "If I Googled this, what would I find? What's your twist?" |
+| Ready for depth | "Now think about weaknesses. What could go wrong, and what would you do?" |
+

+
+## Proposed Checklist Integration
+
+**Where:** C01-2026 checklist, before the C1-1 assessment tasks.
+
+**Suggestion:** Group learning tasks under "Checkpoint A tasks" heading so students can track their readiness. The checkpoint items above become the self-assessment criteria at the end of the learning sequence, before the presentation.
+
+**Note:** The full assessment package (teacher protocol, question bank, scoring guide) is in `SD26-Teachers/sat/C01-2026/C01-1-Assessment-Package.typ`. This wiki page covers only the checkpoint criteria suitable for the student-facing checklist.
