📋 Iteration Portfolio Checkpoint

Students submit a refined prototype package containing version 1, version 2, testing evidence, a short design rationale, and annotated changes between iterations. They complete a milestone review using the project rubric and meet with the teacher for a gate check on readiness for final production, publication planning, and stakeholder-facing presentation work. The final reflection for the phase asks what they learned about audience needs, medium choice, and the tradeoffs they will carry into the next phase.
