Capstone
The integration project at the end of each program that proves whether the program's core purposes were achieved. In Program 1, Module 14: building and programming a complete simulated mobile robot. The capstone is not enrichment; it is the integration test that confirms genuine capability, not just coverage. (see Topic 14.1)
Defined in 4 GAGE programs, which carry 4 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Foundations of Robotics and Physical AI.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

The applied summit of this program, in Module 21. Your portfolio worked against the enterprise failure scenario and graded against a rubric of five named criteria. A score of 75 or better certifies it, with best of five attempts and a cooldown of 24 hours between submissions.
An integrative, summative learning experience set at the end of a module or program, where the learner synthesizes and applies accumulated skills to produce a body of work, rather than encountering new material. Named for the final stone that locks an arch together.
The final module of this program, in which your accumulated dossier is inspected by an AI board and defended in a live examination. It produces no new artifact; it audits everything you built. (see Topic 13.1)
