🗂️ Empathy Board Evidence Check

Students synthesize interview notes, interpretation patterns, and identity-map thinking into an empathy board with four sections: viewer insights, assumption checks, open questions, and interpretation examples. They include sticky-note evidence, brief written claims, and one initial spirit-animal direction connected to intended audience understanding. This milestone serves as the gate into ideation because students must show that design choices are grounded in user evidence rather than preference alone.
