Learning blockchain applications becomes easier when you begin with a question that somebody needs answered. A shipment record, an education credential and an AI agent's action can all contain signed data, yet the evidence needed to trust each conclusion is different. This guide teaches you to compare those needs without letting a technology label do the reasoning.
Use the published application articles as a working library. You will build a problem-and-evidence comparison, complete an original six-packet paper exercise, repair an overstatement and transfer the method to another domain. The aim is a defensible explanation of what a proposed component contributes, where its contribution stops and which question remains unresolved.
All people, identifiers, documents and observations in the exercise are fictional. Verification outcomes are supplied classroom premises, not instructions for implementing a production verifier. No actual credential, shipment, transaction, personal record or procurement decision is processed.
The featured photograph illustrates study, not a verified blockchain class.

18. Use a transparent learning rubric
Write a sentence containing a decision, an object and a purpose. “Understand blockchain in education” is too wide to check. “Determine whether this packet supports the specified workshop-completion claim under a stated verifier policy” tells you what to inspect. In another domain, the decision might concern whether records reconcile with a supplied shipment observation. These are different decisions even if both use a hash.
Do not begin by drawing boxes labelled blockchain, AI and IoT. Such boxes become useful after you identify the uncertainty. Ask who needs an answer, which event or claim they care about, when they need it and what they will do with the result. A reviewer checking an old publication record and an operator deciding whether equipment can be used today have different time requirements.
This first sentence also gives your reading a boundary. Open Did Blockchain Cause the Improvement? Audit a Project’s Before-and-After Claim for the distinction between an observed improvement and an explanation of its cause. Open Design a Blockchain Pilot: Freeze the Gates Before Reading the Results when the question concerns whether a candidate meets predeclared pilot gates. Choose the article because it repairs your question, rather than because its title sounds impressive.
Your output for this section is one decision sentence and one sentence naming the wider conclusion you have not established. Keep them visible throughout the notebook. If later evidence changes the question, record a new question instead of silently broadening the old answer.

2. Separate the application from its supporting technologies
An application includes a workflow, participants, rules and consequences. Its supporting stack may include a database, cryptographic keys, network services, an identity process, a blockchain and a physical observation process. Learning the application requires tracing how those parts connect. Listing the parts alone does not explain why a decision is justified.
For example, a protected document may carry an issuer's claim. A separate policy determines whether that issuer is accepted for the purpose. A status source can supply evidence relevant to whether the document is still usable. An optional publication record can contribute evidence about specified bytes in a specified record context. None of these roles should be collapsed into the single word verified.
Return to Where Blockchain Fits in the Wider Technology Stack if the wider stack is unclear. Then use Verifying an Education Credential: Issuer, Subject, Claim and the Optional Blockchain Anchor to see a complete credential case that distinguishes issuer, subject, claim and an optional anchor. The present guide teaches a study method; it does not replace that technical article's policy or import its fictional identities into a new case.
Draw your first map with verbs: issuer asserts, verifier checks, policy accepts, record preserves, operator observes. Every verb needs a named object. If an arrow says only trusted, ask what evidence supports it and which scope it covers. Your map should explain one decision before you add more technologies or more participants.
CHAPTER 3 OF 20 · Learn and check
3. Build five columns before making a recommendation
Use five columns: problem, required evidence, candidate contribution, remaining dependency and permitted conclusion. This structure prevents a proposal from jumping straight from a useful component to a claim of complete success. Fill the required-evidence column before reading the candidate's promotional description.
The problem column states what somebody cannot currently determine or do reliably. Required evidence says what would resolve that uncertainty under the stated rules. Candidate contribution identifies a specific observation or capability. Remaining dependency names the link the candidate does not establish. Permitted conclusion is the sentence you can responsibly write after checking all of them.
For a paper comparison, you may write “specified document integrity under supplied verification assumptions” as a contribution and “accepted issuer for this purpose” as a separate dependency. That is more informative than giving the system five stars for trust. The columns describe relationships, not a universal numeric ranking of technologies.
If you cannot fill a column, mark it unresolved and explain why. Do not use unknown as a synonym for failure. A missing status observation does not by itself prove revocation; it prevents the conclusion that requires a successful status check. Your comparison becomes useful precisely because it distinguishes established facts, supplied assumptions and missing evidence instead of pretending that every cell has a confident answer.
| Problem | Required evidence | Contribution | Dependency | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specified completion claim | Five P conditions | Integrity / optional inclusion | Authority, purpose, subject, current status | Acceptance only under named policy |
CHAPTER 4 OF 20 · Learn and check
4. Keep object identity and time attached to every fact
Evidence is about something at some time under some rule. Preserve the identifier of the document, issuer, subject, dataset, system version and observation wherever it affects your conclusion. Two screenshots with similar headings may describe different versions. A correct check of yesterday's packet cannot automatically answer a question about today's status.
Use a small evidence card: object; question; source; time; supplied result; limitation. The limitation should be specific. “No current status evidence supplied” tells the reader what is missing. “May be unreliable” is too vague to guide the next action. If an object identifier changes, treat that as an independent variation rather than assuming all earlier evidence transfers.
Read Credential Status Over Time: Verify the Snapshot, the Challenge and the Key History for snapshot, challenge and key-history questions. Read IoT Data on a Blockchain: Reconstruct the Sensor-to-Ledger Evidence Path for a sensor-to-ledger path that separates sampling from publication. These articles teach different time relationships. Do not copy a freshness rule from one into the other merely because both mention timestamps.
For today's original exercise, we will use a single check time called t1. The classroom packet states which checks are valid at t1. We do not derive an exact wall-clock time from a block label or assume that an earlier observation remains current forever. This limited time model lets you focus on the evidence relationships without pretending to implement clocks, status services or a live network.
CHAPTER 5 OF 20 · Learn and check
5. Compare an alternative that answers the same question
A fair comparison begins with the same decision and required evidence. If one design checks a protected claim and another only displays a badge, their attractive interfaces do not make them equivalent alternatives. Describe what each design actually supplies before discussing complexity, expense or distribution of control.
Include a plausible conventional arrangement where the dossier allows one. It may use protected records, a database, an accepted authority and an inspectable log. Whether it suffices depends on the requirements and evidence. Its label does not make it automatically adequate, just as the word blockchain does not make another design automatically preferable.
In the exercise below, the baseline packet can satisfy the stated classroom acceptance policy without an anchor. The anchored packet adds one stipulated record-inclusion fact. Comparing them will show whether that extra fact changes this particular decision. It will not establish that every application can omit a blockchain or that every publication record is unnecessary.
Your study output should name what is held constant: claim, subject, accepted issuer, check time and acceptance policy. Then name the deliberate difference. Without this step, a favourable result may come from a changed rule or a different packet rather than the component you think you are evaluating. For causal project claims, use the more detailed treatment in Did Blockchain Cause the Improvement? Audit a Project’s Before-and-After Claim instead of converting this small logical comparison into a measured impact study.
Fictional verifier V asks whether a packet supports issuer I's assertion that subject S completed practice module M, edition 2, under classroom policy P at t1. Completion here is a supplied educational assertion, not an admission decision, professional qualification or independent proof of the underlying learning activity.
P requires an issuer accepted for M edition 2; a successful integrity check of the exact document; the required completion claim; the specified subject S connection; and a successful authoritative status check at t1. For this exercise, an accepted issuer list, a correct subject-binding process and correct verification outcomes are given as trusted premises. We are not specifying the algorithms that produce them.
P does not require a blockchain anchor. No anchor can substitute for one of the five mandatory conditions. If a future policy requires an anchor, that must be written as a changed policy and evaluated separately. We will make precisely that variation later, preserving the earlier result rather than pretending the requirement was always present.
Give each condition a short label: issuer, integrity, claim, subject and status. Acceptance under P means all five pass. Unknown is not pass. It also is not automatically false. This three-way reasoning matters when a packet lacks evidence: the decision can be not accepted on the supplied packet without declaring the issuer dishonest or the subject unqualified in every other context.
CHAPTER 7 OF 20 · Learn and check
7. Read the baseline and optional anchor premises
Baseline packet A contains document C, issued by accepted I, about S's completion of M edition 2. Its integrity check passes. Its subject connection passes the supplied binding process. The authoritative status observation is current for t1 and passes P. All five required conditions are therefore supplied as satisfied.
Packet B is A plus optional anchor H. H concerns the exact defined representation of C. Its digest match, inclusion in the identified record context and the context's required acceptance condition are all supplied as successfully checked. Treat H as a stipulated narrow inclusion fact. No real hashing, network query or consensus proof is performed in this paper exercise.
The anchor does not independently supply issuer acceptance, completion truth, subject identity, status or legal recognition. Its bytes may be relevant to a separately specified publication requirement, but P currently has no such requirement. We also make no anonymity claim about publishing a digest or its metadata.
Write the two evidence cards before reading the answers: A supplies the five P checks; B supplies those same checks plus H's inclusion fact. The exercise is deliberately small enough that you can inspect every dependency. If your notes turn B into a universal proof of education quality, you have added a conclusion absent from the premises and should return to the exact policy sentence.
Every packet below starts independently from A or B as explicitly stated. There is no sequence of state changes and no hidden inheritance from the preceding packet. This independence prevents one altered premise from contaminating all later answers.
A is the unchanged baseline. B is the unchanged baseline plus H. C starts from B but replaces I with issuer J, whose document integrity and anchor checks pass. J is not accepted for M edition 2. All other mandatory conditions in C pass. D starts from B but changes the protected claim to attendance only through a correctly issued document. Its other checks pass, and its anchor matches that attendance document.
E starts from B and retains the completion claim, accepted I, integrity and S connection. It supplies only a status observation at t0, which P explicitly does not accept as current evidence at t1. H still passes for the document. F starts from A and changes the document subject to T. Its integrity, issuer, completion claim and current status pass, but P's required S connection fails.
No case supplies a forged proof or a broken blockchain. The exercise changes purpose, authority, time or subject relationships while allowing useful technical checks to remain successful. Before continuing, write six acceptance decisions and the narrow reason for each. An answer consisting only of good or bad loses the distinction the notebook is meant to teach.
CHAPTER 9 OF 20 · Learn and check
9. Check the complete answer without erasing successful evidence
A is accepted under P: all five mandatory conditions pass, and P does not require H. B is also accepted. It has the same acceptance result and adds the supplied inclusion fact. B does not earn a broader completion or recognition claim merely because its packet is longer.
C is not accepted because J fails issuer acceptance for this purpose. Its integrity and anchor checks remain successful. D is not accepted for the completion question because an attendance claim is different. Its protected attendance statement need not be false. E is not accepted on the supplied packet because P's current-status requirement is unresolved at t1. We do not infer that the document has been revoked. F is not accepted because the required subject connection to S fails.
The count is two accepted and four not accepted under P. Count the reasons as well: issuer mismatch, purpose mismatch, missing current-status evidence and subject mismatch. These are four different repair paths. Adding more anchor confirmations does not address any of those specific missing relationships under the given policy.
When marking your answer, preserve every unchanged successful check. A response saying C has no valid evidence is too broad because C has successful integrity and inclusion checks. A response saying E proves invalid status is also too broad because no such observation was supplied. Accurate learning involves defending the smallest useful conclusion, not swinging between total endorsement and total rejection.
| Packet | P result | Reason / preserved contribution |
|---|---|---|
| A | Accepted | Five conditions; H not required |
| B | Accepted | Five conditions plus H |
| C | Not accepted | J unaccepted; integrity and H pass |
| D | Not accepted | Attendance not completion; integrity and H pass |
| E | Not accepted | t1 status unresolved; integrity and H pass |
| F | Not accepted | Required S connection fails; other given checks pass |
Now define P2 as P plus a mandatory H inclusion requirement for the exact protected document. Keep all other packet facts fixed. P2 is a new classroom policy, not a rule attributed to a standard or a claim that all education credentials require blockchain.
Under P2, A is not accepted on its supplied packet because H is absent. B is accepted because the original five conditions and H all pass. C remains not accepted because J is still outside the accepted issuer list. D still contains attendance rather than completion. E still lacks the accepted t1 status evidence. F still fails the S connection and also lacks H.
There is now one accepted packet out of six. The change does not show that A's earlier P acceptance was an error. It shows that a different requirement produces a different decision. Keep both result tables labelled with the policy version so another reader can reproduce the reasoning.
This variation is an important transfer test. If you memorised “anchors never matter,” you will miss A's new failure. If you memorised “anchors prove everything,” you will wrongly accept C, D and E. The correct method checks the requirement-to-evidence link each time. In a real review, the reason for adding a requirement would itself need justification; this classroom exercise supplies the rule only to make the logical consequences inspectable.
| Packet | P | P2 |
|---|---|---|
| A | Accepted | Not accepted |
| B | Accepted | Accepted |
| C | Not accepted | Not accepted |
| D | Not accepted | Not accepted |
| E | Not accepted | Not accepted |
| F | Not accepted | Not accepted |
Consider the sentence: “All blockchain-anchored packets prove recognised course completion.” It fails for several independent reasons. C has an unaccepted issuer, D claims attendance and E lacks required current-status evidence. Recognition by another institution was never part of P or P2. Even B's accepted result is scoped to the supplied classroom assertion and verification policy.
A repaired sentence is: “B satisfies the stated P policy at t1 under the supplied trusted inputs and verification results, and its optional anchor supplies the specified inclusion fact. This does not establish wider academic recognition or independently verify the educational event.” For P2, replace the word optional with required and identify the new policy version.
Notice that repair changes the claim, not the underlying facts. It does not delete the anchor or deny its supplied contribution. It removes unsupported links and tells the reader which result was actually established. That is usually more valuable than adding a general caution at the end of an inflated headline.
Practise the same repair on “E is revoked” and “D is fake.” E's supplied packet lacks acceptable current-status evidence at t1; revocation is not established. D's attendance claim fails the completion purpose, while its stated integrity and issuer checks pass. Your repaired explanations should retain these successful components and identify the exact question for which the packet is insufficient.
CHAPTER 12 OF 20 · Learn and check
12. Turn missing evidence into a bounded next question
For C, ask whether there is an authorised policy decision accepting J for the exact purpose, or a suitable claim from an already accepted issuer. Do not simply add J to the list yourself. The exercise's current answer remains not accepted until the relevant premise is legitimately changed and checked.
For D, ask for a protected completion claim that satisfies the required module and edition, if one exists. For E, ask for status evidence meeting P's t1 rule from the authoritative source. For F, ask for a packet satisfying the required S connection. These questions are different because the gaps are different.
The next question must not predetermine its answer. Requesting current status does not guarantee a pass; it could reveal a failing status. Asking about issuer authority does not prove acceptance. A good notebook says what evidence would resolve the gap and records the eventual result separately.
In project evaluation, the same habit supports a clear hold decision. Design a Blockchain Pilot: Freeze the Gates Before Reading the Results shows a pilot with mandatory gates, where an export-evidence failure remains material despite favourable results elsewhere. Blockchain Procurement: Turn a Proposal into Verifiable Deliverables turns proposals into inspectable deliverables. Use those articles to study requirements and evidence plans. Do not convert our five-condition credential worksheet into a procurement checklist for every domain: the method transfers, while the actual conditions must be defined for the new question.
CHAPTER 13 OF 20 · Learn and check
13. Route the application library by missing connection
The final ten technical articles form a useful reading map. Did Blockchain Cause the Improvement? Audit a Project’s Before-and-After Claim repairs confusion between improvement and causation. Blockchain Supply-Chain Records: Reconcile the Ledger with the Shipment repairs a missing connection between ledger records and supplied shipment evidence. Verifying an Education Credential: Issuer, Subject, Claim and the Optional Blockchain Anchor and Credential Status Over Time: Verify the Snapshot, the Challenge and the Key History handle credential purpose, authority, presentation and time-sensitive checks. Read only the branch needed for your current question before expanding.
AI Agents and Blockchain Actions: Follow Authority, Submission and the Lasting Effect follows an AI action from authority through submission to lasting effect. IoT Data on a Blockchain: Reconstruct the Sensor-to-Ledger Evidence Path traces sensor evidence through transformations and publication. Blockchain Energy Reports: Reconcile Equipment, Electricity and Emissions separates equipment, electricity and emissions boundaries. These are not interchangeable examples of immutable truth; each names a different evidence path and different unresolved dependencies.
Design a Blockchain Pilot: Freeze the Gates Before Reading the Results designs prospective acceptance gates. Blockchain Procurement: Turn a Proposal into Verifiable Deliverables makes delivery and exit requirements verifiable. Blockchain Capstone: Decide a Shared Booking System from a Fixed Evidence Dossier integrates an architecture decision, supplied state trace and changed governance fact in a fixed dossier. Together they move from reading an application claim to making a bounded decision that another reader can inspect.
Create a ten-row route card with article number, question repaired and your own output. The output might be a two-sentence correction, one traced transformation or one reproducible decision. Do not record completed simply because you scrolled to the bottom. Record the task you can now perform and the remaining gap. This turns the published library into a learning instrument rather than a collection of tabs that you hope to remember later.
For transfer, take a fictional question: does a supplied packet connect digital record R to physical package X at observation t1? The packet supplies correct record integrity and inclusion for R. It does not supply a trusted observation binding R's package identifier to X. No other facts about delivery, inspection or ownership are given.
The permitted conclusion is that the supplied checks establish the specified digital-record facts. The physical package connection remains unresolved. You cannot conclude that X was delivered, that R is fraudulent or that a particular operator caused the gap. Those would require additional evidence not contained in this transfer packet.
Your next evidence request should name the missing binding and its observation conditions. For example, ask what accepted process connects the inspected package to R's identifier at the relevant time. This asks a precise question without asserting that a barcode, photograph or signed statement automatically supplies a sufficient answer.
Now read Blockchain Supply-Chain Records: Reconcile the Ledger with the Shipment and compare its complete dossier with your short transfer note. Keep the article's supplied facts separate from this exercise. The learning test is whether you can identify the same type of boundary in a new setting, not whether you can import a successful shipment outcome from another fictional case. Award yourself credit only if your conclusion retains the digital evidence while leaving the physical claim unresolved under the stated premises.
Here is another independent transfer packet. A protected record contains the value 18 and label unit-U. Integrity and inclusion checks pass. The packet does not define unit-U, the measurement target, sampling time or an accepted calibration basis. You are asked whether the record proves that a classroom storage condition is suitable now.
The answer is that suitability is not established by the supplied packet. Even the number's interpretation is incomplete without its unit and measurement context. We do not infer a bad physical condition, a broken sensor or a dishonest operator. We identify the missing links needed for the stated suitability question.
Write four bounded evidence questions: what unit and quantity are represented; what object was measured; when sampling occurred; and what accepted measurement basis connects the reading to the intended decision. Whether further requirements apply depends on the real decision, which this exercise deliberately leaves outside its narrow fictional scope.
Use IoT Data on a Blockchain: Reconstruct the Sensor-to-Ledger Evidence Path to study a richer sensor-to-ledger path with explicit transformations and time distinctions. The general connection to external inputs is also discussed in Blockchain Oracles: Check the Report Before Trusting the External Fact. Ethereum's primary oracle documentation explains why onchain execution and external information require an input arrangement. Our unit-U case is an original reasoning exercise, not a description of any particular oracle implementation or a claim that blockchain can evaluate physical suitability unaided.
CHAPTER 16 OF 20 · Learn and check
16. Study environmental and AI claims with the same discipline
For an environmental claim, begin by identifying the measured quantity and boundary. Electricity consumed by named equipment during a defined interval is different from total lifecycle emissions. A protected report can preserve an assertion without supplying the missing boundary, activity data or conversion basis. Blockchain Energy Reports: Reconcile Equipment, Electricity and Emissions provides the detailed worked comparison; use it to label the question your evidence actually answers.
For an AI action claim, name the authority given to the actor, the operation requested and the lasting effect observed. A generated instruction is different from a submission, and a submission is different from an accepted state change. AI Agents and Blockchain Actions: Follow Authority, Submission and the Lasting Effect supplies a technical path for learning these distinctions. Do not assume that fluent output means authorised control or successful execution.
In both domains, attach the object and observation time. “The system did it” conceals which version, account, request or equipment set was examined. A useful learning note separates the authorisation basis, observation and unsupported extension rather than giving a general verdict about all AI or all blockchains.
You do not need to become an environmental assessor or build a live agent to complete this study task. Your output is a precise reading question and a scoped explanation based on the published exercise. Real domain decisions would need evidence and expertise appropriate to their purpose. The notebook should help you locate that need, not create a false impression that reading a blockchain article has replaced it.
CHAPTER 17 OF 20 · Learn and check
17. Test yourself with counterexamples before rereading
Close the guide and reconstruct P's five conditions from memory. Then explain why B passes and C fails even though both have supplied successful anchor checks. This tests a relationship, rather than your ability to repeat a slogan about decentralisation or tamper resistance.
Next answer three questions. Can A pass under P? Yes, because the required five checks pass and H is not required. Does E establish revocation? No, because its t0 status observation is not accepted at t1, leaving the current requirement unresolved. Does P2 invalidate the historical answer under P? No, because it is a newly labelled rule that produces its own results.
For a stronger retrieval test, invent a packet with accepted issuer, successful integrity, correct completion claim and current status, but subject T instead of S. It fails the subject condition. Add a correctly checked H for that exact packet: it still fails the subject condition. Then change the subject connection through a newly supplied suitable packet and check every condition again.
Mark errors by the missing relationship. If you forget P's issuer rule, return to section 6. If you confuse absence with revocation, return to sections 9 and 12. If you declare anchors irrelevant under P2, return to section 10. Rereading the whole page without locating the error is less useful than repairing the exact connection and testing a fresh variation afterward.
Give yourself ten points for this original study exercise. Two points cover correctly naming P's five mandatory conditions. Two cover the six packet decisions and their reasons. Two cover P2's changed decisions while preserving P's earlier results. Two cover the repaired claim, including the limit on recognition. Two cover a transfer note retaining successful digital checks while identifying the missing physical or measurement connection.
Within each category, award one point for a partly correct explanation and two for all required relationships. Do not award points for choosing blockchain, rejecting blockchain or using more technical vocabulary. This rubric is local to the learning exercise and does not certify professional competence or institutional credit.
A learner who gets the count right but calls E revoked should lose a point in the packet-reason category. A learner who understands C's failure but says all anchors are irrelevant should lose a point in the P2 category. These examples show why a total score should be accompanied by error notes.
Keep your first attempt, correction and a later fresh attempt. A corrected answer copied from the model demonstrates access to the model; a fresh explanation of a changed packet gives better evidence of learning. Your portfolio can show both, clearly labelled. The next guide will help organise these outputs across the whole article library without turning a stack of notes into an unsupported mastery claim.
In session one, write the decision sentence, five-column comparison and P conditions. Complete A through F before opening the answers. Use the published credential articles only when a named connection is missing. End by recording the error you need to repair, rather than extending the session until every possible application has been read.
In session two, reconstruct the original decisions from a blank page, then apply P2. Repair the three overstatements from section 11. Compare your reasons with the model and record whether the earlier error recurred. If it did, reduce complexity and explain one condition aloud before trying another full packet.
In session three, choose the shipment or sensor transfer task and produce a short bounded evidence request. Then select the relevant application article and write what additional relationships its full dossier supplies. Do not overwrite your earlier transfer answer with the article's facts; preserving the two stages shows how your reasoning changed.
The session lengths are flexible. Stop at a completed output, not an arbitrary number of browser tabs. The durable sequence is question, controlled exercise, checked explanation, repair and transfer. If you can complete all three sessions correctly, extend to Design a Blockchain Pilot: Freeze the Gates Before Reading the Results or Blockchain Procurement: Turn a Proposal into Verifiable Deliverables for decision design. If a basic connection still fails, return to its prerequisite guide before increasing the number of actors, evidence sources or policy variations.
CHAPTER 20 OF 20 · Learn and check
20. Write the final comparison another reader can check
Your final note should fit the case rather than a template full of empty claims. Name V's question, P and t1; state A and B's acceptance results; identify H's narrow added contribution; explain C through F with their distinct gaps; and label the P2 change. Include one transfer question and the evidence it still lacks.
A concise model conclusion is: “Under the supplied trusted inputs, A and B satisfy P at t1. B additionally has the stipulated inclusion evidence H. C, D, E and F are not accepted for different reasons: issuer acceptance, claim purpose, current-status evidence and subject connection. P2 adds an anchor requirement and accepts only B among the six supplied packets. None of these results establishes wider academic recognition or independently confirms every underlying event.”
Keep a route to the full technical source beside the note so a reader can inspect the concepts without confusing its facts with your original exercise. Record your first explanation and the correction that made it more precise. That small history is evidence of your learning process, while the final reasoning remains open to checking.
Continue to the learning-portfolio guide to connect this output with cryptography, consensus, execution, architecture, infrastructure, security, tokens and governance. An application comparison is where those subjects meet a purpose. Its quality comes from preserving the connections that matter to the decision and naming the evidence still needed, rather than declaring success because every technology has appeared somewhere in the diagram.
