Students assemble their Phase 2 research portfolio: interview notes, playlist analysis, assumption check, empathy map, and revised songwriting brief. In a short conference, the teacher reviews whether the evidence is sufficient and specific enough to support concept generation in the next phase. Students who meet the checkpoint move on; others make targeted revisions using conference notes.
