Question Resolution & Final QC

Question-resolution rule — non-negotiable

Teaching/reference artifact

A question appears immediately with its source-grounded answer, detailed explanation, and DMBOK source anchor.

Scenario Lab

A short group of related questions may appear together, but the immediately following Answer/Rationale must explicitly answer every sub-question.

Dedicated assessment/retrieval artifact

Answers may be separated for testing value, but there must be a complete clearly labeled answer/reconstruction key.

If the controlling DMBOK chapter does not support an answer, revise/remove the question or state the limitation. Do not silently import general knowledge.

Visual and PDF completion rule

A chapter artifact is not complete after content drafting. Perform a visual-design pass, read back the Google-native version, create/update the companion PDF, and render/inspect the PDF. The editable and PDF versions must contain materially identical learning content and answer keys.

Final QC prompt

Before finalizing any artifact, act as a separate quality reviewer. Compare the artifact against the controlling DMBOK chapter, the internal chapter blueprint, 00A-01, and the operational guide. Identify and repair:

missing important concepts
inaccurate or overbroad claims
terminology drift
shallow explanations
bad examples
missing distinctions
unresolved questions
ambiguous scenarios
weak distractors or rationales
invented order or causality
duplication
disproportionate depth
poor visual hierarchy
stale PDF companion
broken links/tables
mismatch between Google and PDF versions

Then ask: Could a motivated beginner understand it, retrieve it later, distinguish it from neighboring concepts, and apply it in a scenario? If not, revise again.
