Meeting the Minimum vs Exceeding the Standard
Saboteur Assumption
“Minimum is enough.” It’s enough for a certificate, not for your career.
Architect Evidence
- Minimum vs mastery artefacts: what hiring managers actually want to see.
- Regulator proof beyond checkboxes.
- Time‑to‑productivity signals.
Bard Narrative
Graduates who exceeded standards entered roles with confidence and shorter ramps. Minimalists passed but struggled on the job.
Action Plan
- Produce master‑level examples for 2–3 key tasks. 2) Capture version history and commentary. 3) Showcase in your portfolio.
