What effective managers need to combine

What makes an executive capstone different from a business idea?
A capstone connects a defined problem to evidence, economics, implementation, risk and a decision-ready recommendation. An idea may be the starting point, but it is not sufficient evidence.
Can AI prepare the capstone?
AI can support research structure, alternatives and challenge, but the learner must verify facts, protect confidential information and own the final reasoning and recommendation.
Is the score a formal assessment?
No. It is a private planning diagnostic. Formal completion requirements are governed by the program rules and assessment process in force for enrolled learners.
