Project Card field guide

This is a checklist for the card you write elsewhere: not a submission form and not a badge. Use it so Day 5 isn’t “we forgot the safety logs.”

Sections

Must · good enough · common miss

01 · Companion overview & charter

Must include
  • Domain theme + who the learner is
  • Core learning goals
  • Value-Alignment charter (what you optimise for / refuse)
Good enough for pitch
  • One clear sentence: “We built a Socratic companion for X”
  • 2 to 4 goals a panel can remember
Common miss
  • Vague “helps with AI” with no domain
  • Charter that only says “be helpful”

02 · Dataset analysis

Must include
  • What was in the Theme Data Pack
  • Limits / gaps / representation issues you found
  • Research questions that followed
Good enough for pitch
  • One honest limitation + why it matters for learners
Common miss
  • “The data was fine” with no critique
  • No link between gaps and bot behaviour

03 · Socratic system instructions

Must include
  • Full custom system prompt(s)
  • Scaffolding rules + boundary / non-anthropomorphism rules
Good enough for pitch
  • Highlight 3 rules you’ll demo live
Common miss
  • Pasting a starter unchanged
  • No scaffolding: only “be nice”

04 · Safety audit logs

Must include
  • Probes run (boundary, scaffolding, agency, anthropomorphism, trust)
  • Pass/fail + short quote or paraphrase
  • What you changed after a fail
Good enough for pitch
  • One fail you fixed + one pass you’re proud of
Common miss
  • “We tested it and it was good” with no probes
  • Logs with no dates or prompts

Need prompts to generate logs?

Run the probe pack in AI Studio, then write the results into section 04.
