Capstone Three: Your Pack
The idea
The third capstone task, constructed for this course, asks you to build a Pack for your anchor thing, at the depth its risk deserves.
In practice
First decide the level. Ask what a mistake in this thing would cost, and whether it is audit-critical, legally sensitive, or central to money, safety or rights. If it is none of these, build Silver. If it is any of them, build Gold. Then build the Pack in the book's order: header, purpose, definition with scope notes and synonyms, key properties from your cards with their meanings, lifecycle with states, transitions and who may trigger each, the card index grouped by change type, relationships, usage in screens and reports, constraints and obligations, open questions, at least one example, and the steward, version and change log. Notice which cards the lifecycle reveals, and write them down. If you use an AI tool to draft or update the Pack, supply your own pieces, forbid invented fields and states, and do the two-way check on its change log. Name a steward, even if it is you, and give the Pack a version number and today's date.
Where people slip
Most of the Pack should come from your first two tasks. If you find yourself inventing large sections from scratch, go back to phases one and two, because a Pack that gathers no earlier decisions is guessing. Be honest about the level, too. The library's busiest thing, the Loan, stayed Silver, while a record nobody had named before the auditor question became its only Gold Pack. Your Gold decision should rest on what a mistake would cost, and you should be able to say that cost aloud in one plain sentence.
