Map course modules to accreditation learning outcomes

The decision tree

6 typed decisions, each with an action for every answer

At fixed moments in a run, the engine puts one narrow question to a decision model. The decision model never writes text: it answers yes or no with a probability, picks from listed options, or gives a score, about a small slice of the material. The engine then does exactly what this tree says, which is what makes the run auditable. The thresholds are the template's design values, not measured results.

1. 1

   Planner, while planning

   Split or keep serialYes or no, with a probability

   While planning

   Are the required outcomes in this part of the standard worded as separate, individually assessable statements?

   Sees only: One part of the accreditation standard

   Why: Bundled outcomes checked separately produce false gaps; they stay together.

   00.40 and 0.601

   • Yes: 0.60 or higher→thenSplit the work
   • Unsure: 0.40 up to 0.60→thenKeep serial
   • No: below 0.40→thenKeep serial
2. 2

   Split or keep serialYes or no, with a probability

   While planning

   Does this course have enough modules and assessment briefs that checking them in parallel beats reading the course once?

   Sees only: One course's list of modules and assessment briefs, with lengths

   Why: Small courses are cheaper read whole.

   00.40 and 0.601

   • Yes: 0.60 or higher→thenSplit the work
   • Unsure: 0.40 up to 0.60→thenKeep serial
   • No: below 0.40→thenKeep serial
3. 3

   Scope checkYes or no, with a probability

   Before work starts on a unit

   Does this module's title, aims or content list touch the subject area of the required outcome?

   Sees only: One required outcome and one module descriptor's title, aims and content list

   Why: Avoids checking every module against every outcome while erring towards inclusion.

   00.20 and 0.501

   • Yes: 0.50 or higher→thenAccept
   • Unsure: 0.20 up to 0.50→thenAccept
   • No: below 0.20→thenSkip this unit
4. 4

   After workers, the judge checks

   Evidence checkA choice among options

   After a worker answers

   What does the quoted text from the module descriptor or assessment brief show about the required outcome as the standard words it?

   Sees only: One required outcome and the quoted descriptor or brief text

   Why: Accreditors distinguish taught from assessed, and a topic mention is evidence of neither.

   • Shows it is taught→thenAccept
   • Shows it is assessed→thenAccept
   • Mentions the topic only→thenReject and retry
   • Too vague to tell→thenMark unresolved
5. 5

   Evidence checkYes or no, with a probability

   After a worker answers

   Among all modules admitted for this outcome, is there no accepted quote showing that the outcome is taught or assessed?

   Sees only: One required outcome and the verdicts for every module admitted for it

   Why: A reported gap drives curriculum change, so it is confirmed across the whole programme first.

   00.50 and 0.851

   • Yes: 0.85 or higher→thenAccept
   • Unsure: 0.50 up to 0.85→thenEscalate to a strong model
   • No: below 0.50→thenReject and retry
6. 6

   Accountable person, before anything is settled

   Person decidesYes or no, with a probability

   Before anything is reported as settled

   Does this outcome have no evidence, or evidence of teaching without assessment, in a mapping that will go to the accreditor?

   Sees only: One outcome's row of the mapping with its quotes

   Why: The programme director signs the submission and decides how gaps are closed.

   Accountable: The programme director signs the mapping submitted to the accreditor and decides how gaps are closed.

   00.10 and 0.301

   • Yes: 0.30 or higher→thenAsk a person
   • Unsure: 0.10 up to 0.30→thenAsk a person
   • No: below 0.10→thenAccept
