8.3 Checkpoint: Evidence-Based Pitch

The Integration Checkpoint connects the Skill Track and the Venture Track. You show what you learned in Module 8 with evidence, not opinion.

Checkpoint assignment

• Final evidence-based pitch presentation
• 5–7 minute pitch to peers, instructors, or judges
• Complete evidence portfolio submission
• Process reflection essay

Evidence portfolio requirements

Add each of these to your evidence portfolio before moving on:

• Complete Pitch Deck (10–12 Slides)
• Comprehensive Evidence Portfolio (All Modules 1–7 Artifacts)
• Final Business Model Canvas (v2.0+)
• Pitch Delivery (Live or Recorded)
• Q&A Performance
• Process Reflection Essay (Skill Development + Venture Journey)

How this checkpoint is assessed

Your instructor chooses one of three paths, so every student can succeed whether or not their venture moves forward:

• Option A (default): 40% Skill Track, 40% Venture Track, 20% Integration
• Option B: 100% Skill Track, for students whose ventures don't progress
• Option C: 100% Venture Track, for experienced students

Looking ahead

This is the final checkpoint. Your portfolio now tells the full story of your entrepreneurial journey.
