Week 6 (The Researcher): Achiote — and a question about the rubric

First, congrats to James — well-earned. 🏆

This isn't about placement, and it's nothing against anyone who placed. I just want to get better and understand the bar I'm building against.

I shipped Achiote for Week 6 — a food-memory researcher for immigrant families. Give it a sound-alike, a smell, a color of a dish nobody wrote down, and instead of guessing a recipe it investigates: treats the memory as evidence, weighs sources, keeps the unknowns visible, and ends with one small, cheap taste to test the memory before any full recipe.

Two honest asks:

@Jake Van Clief
— a couple weeks back you mentioned building a scoring rubric and sharing it so we could see exactly what you weigh. Is that something you can post? It'd help all of us calibrate, not just me.

2.If you got a chance to look at Achiote — where does it fall short? What would you change about the folder or the framing to make it land as a researcher? Straight answers welcome.

That's it. Thanks for running these great learning experience.
