- Problem
- High-stakes examinations concentrate enormous consequence behind a narrow gate: they certify memory of covered content rather than demonstrated capability, and too much of a learner's future rides on too little evidence.
- Intervention
- A term-long pilot in which a cohort maintains an evidenced portfolio of real work, assessed against a published rubric, run alongside existing exams rather than replacing them, with the comparison published either way.
Feasibility: high
