CLC 12 Capstone / visual story
Make AI less invisible.
AI gives an answer. TCD leaves a small receipt.
Map
From answer to trace.
The website shows one simple idea: an AI step should not disappear after it happens.
Receipt
The receipt, split into simple pieces.
Instead of showing one huge JSON file, I broke the receipt into layers a non-technical viewer can understand.
This was a local proof run.
Not everything.
It does not save the full conversation.Not just a picture.
It creates structured information that can be checked.A trace.
Enough to look back at one selected AI step.Visible.
I learned to turn code into something other people can see.Path
The demo became a small story.
The receipt summary is not just a code file. It shows a path: run, save, verify, restart, verify again.

Checks
What the receipt demo proved.
I translated technical pass/fail fields into a simple checklist.
Boundary
Clear project boundary.
I learned that a serious project should also say what it does not show.

Learned
Code became a story.
My Capstone is not only about making a system work. It is about making a hidden process understandable.

A good project should be visible.
I learned that building is only one part. The next part is making the process clear enough for someone else to understand, question, and trust.
