Engineering

A design isn't a result until it's tested against a requirement.

What counts as evidence: A defined spec or requirement, a build or simulation, and measured performance against it.
  • Write the requirements and success criteria before you build anything.
  • Test under conditions that could make the design fail, not just the easy case.
  • Document iterations — what you changed and why is often the most interesting part.
  • Simulation (free tools like OpenFOAM, FreeCAD) is a legitimate substitute for a physical build.
