Case setup (reproducible profile)
- Target role: junior software engineer.
- Starting point: basic coding familiarity, no production deployment history.
- Constraint: full-time job, fixed 10-hour weekly learning capacity.
Reproducible generator inputs
- Goal input: transition into software engineering with portfolio evidence.
- Experience: some projects shipped; weekly time: medium; budget: moderate.
- Certificate preference: yes; project preference: yes.
When this profile is replayed in the generator, the core route prioritizes software engineering while keeping adjacent paths for risk control.
Execution evidence package (what gets published)
- Artifact 1: one deployable web app with readme and setup instructions.
- Artifact 2: one refactor commit log showing code-quality improvements.
- Artifact 3: interview story bank with context -> action -> impact structure.
