Checkpoint
One last thing before we move on. pass this to mark the lesson done, or skip and keep moving. hop to the next when you're ready.
Final drill. Synthesize the wedge checklist into one function:
pick_capstone(candidates) that takes a list of project pitches
and returns the NAME of the highest-scoring candidate.
Each candidate is a dict with:
name: stringvolume_per_day: intoutput_schema_defined: boolhas_rubric: boolusers_count: inteval_method_defined: bool
Score each candidate using the same five rules from step 06 (each passing signal adds 20):
volume_per_day >= 10: +20output_schema_defined: +20has_rubric: +201 <= users_count <= 10: +20eval_method_defined: +20
Return the name of the highest-scoring candidate. On a tie,
return the FIRST one in the list (Python's max with key=
preserves stable order).
Five candidates run. Expected output:
