Evaluation
How capstones are evaluated.
Evaluations focus on whether a participant can think clearly, communicate credibly, and execute under constraints — not on trivia or tool minutiae.
- Clarity of thinking — can they frame the problem and defend the approach?
- Quality of communication — can a busy executive follow the analysis in minutes?
- Appropriate use of tools — Excel, AI, and enterprise systems used where they earn their keep.
- Professionalism — meets commitments, handles ambiguity, accepts feedback.
