8.3 Checkpoint: Evidence-Based Pitch
The Integration Checkpoint connects the Skill Track and the Venture Track. You show what you learned in Module 8 with evidence, not opinion.
Checkpoint assignment
- Final evidence-based pitch presentation
- 5–7 minute pitch to peers, instructors, or judges
- Complete evidence portfolio submission

Evidence portfolio requirements
Add each of these to your evidence portfolio before moving on:
- Complete Pitch Deck (10–12 Slides)
- Comprehensive Evidence Portfolio (All Modules 1–7 Artifacts)

- Pitch Delivery (Live or Recorded)
- Q&A Performance
- Process Reflection Essay (Skill Development + Venture Journey)
Get feedback before you submit
Paste your draft into the Module 8 AI advisor for coaching on your thinking before you turn it in. The advisor gives feedback; the work and the decisions stay yours.

- Option B: 100% Skill Track, for students whose ventures don't progress
- Option C: 100% Venture Track, for experienced students
