Milestone 4: Edify Testing and Cohort Session

DRAFT Evidence is added here as each output lands. Remove every red marker before submission.

Approved milestone outputs: Edify, Dcypher, and Andamio will complete testing, certification elements, and complete live cohort. Provide adjustments to content, structure, and platform based on feedback.

Approved acceptance criteria: We will conduct thorough testing of all platform components. Developing the certification process for course completion. Refining the platform based on user input and secure resources for the initial group of participants. Market the course within the Catalyst ecosystem.

Approved evidence: We will compile a report detailing project achievements and confirming MVP success. We will complete a project closeout video reviewing the results of the following reports and feedback on the Live Cohort experience. This video report will be a part of the final submission as well as posted on the Dcypher YouTube Channel.

Change of delivery partner. DCypher became unavailable and Fluid7, a listed co-partner, took on their responsibilities. The close-out video is therefore on Edify's own channel, not the DCypher one the approved evidence names. Full account: project overview.

1. Testing Completed:

   • Test strategy and results: every acceptance criterion with the probe that proves it, and the latest run.
   • Andamio platform verification: import, chain match, and nine of nine credentials confirmed on mainnet.
   • Learner-run testing: twelve of fourteen learners worked the modules and submitted assignments, and the defects they found are recorded.

2. Certification Element Completed:

   • Nine module credentials minted on Cardano, 29 September 2026.
   • Asset metadata, the SLT hashes, and what triggers certification.
   • Certification element data report: what a credential asserts, what the learner holds, and the rule that issues it.

3. Adjusting Andamio/Edify Platform Based on Feedback:

   • Six adjustments from sessions 1 and 2, each with what was observed and where it can be verified.
   • Session 1 recap and the cohort's three-group split.
   • Session 2 recap: the material covered before the session was deferred for low attendance.
   • Session 3 recap: on-chain credentials in practice, wallet notes, and the feedback going into the report.
   • How feedback is collected and tracked.
   • Eight Andamio platform enhancement requests raised by the cohort, to share with the Andamio team.
   • Cohort feedback report: nine of fourteen learners, what they said and what it changes.
   • Improvements and action plan: every item the cohort raised, its owner, its date and what happened to it.
   • Cohort feedback form, issued 24 October 2026: the written instrument the feedback report is built from, with a consent item governing what may be quoted.
   • The cohort's own reports on the course material, from nine written responses and the groups' work on their assigned modules.

4. Funding for the First Live Cohort of 20 Devs:

   • Enrolment route: fit check, application, and confirmation by email.
   • What a place costs: free during the launch phase, with the Andamio access token refunded on completion.
   • Access token cost and the refund mechanism.
   • Cohort enrolment records, and the funding allocated to resource the cohort.
   • 400 ADA allocated on 3 October to onboard the cohort and fund their wallets.

5. Course Promoted to Catalyst Ecosystem:

   • Promotional campaign: every touchpoint, how reach is measured, and the figures.

6. Close-out Report Produced:

   • Close-out report, PDF: the Project Completion Report for the Proof of Achievement, with deliverables, usage, impact, sustainability, on-chain evidence and each approved criterion marked met or not met.
   • The same report as a page, for reading in the browser.
   • Live cohort feedback report, from the written form and the cohort channels.

7. Close-out Video Produced:

   • TODO Live cohort recording, reviewing the platform, the close-out report and the cohort feedback.
