Catalyst Grit · How-to Guide

Responsible voluntary goals, milestones, effort, context, support, rest, setbacks, strategy experiments, reflection, learning, progress, uncertainty, review, and export.

Audience: product users, administrators, reviewers, and integrators.

Last verified version: 1.5.0

Reading time: 18–30 minutes

Status: Published support documentation.

Purpose

This end-to-end workflow demonstrates every documented Catalyst Grit capability through one fictional resilient-community-retrofit case. The objective is not to prove a real-world conclusion; it is to verify the complete product workflow with controlled data.

Prerequisites

  • The current product release
  • A new synthetic workspace
  • The all-feature CSV and JSON
  • No production or private information
  • Time to review every checkpoint

Sample data

This article uses a fictional Resilient Community Retrofit Program. The files contain one demonstration row for every documented feature, so each capability can be tested without private or production data.

Procedure

Scenario

A community center is assessing energy, comfort, financing, implementation, evidence, and monitoring needs. Use only the supplied fictional records.

  1. 1. Goal Workspace: create GRIT-LEARN-001. Confirm a user-controlled goal workspace.
  2. 2. Goal Definition: define an eight-week goal to complete a reproducible energy analysis. Confirm a bounded goal with completion criteria.
  3. 3. Milestones: break the goal into data, calculation, analysis, and briefing steps. Confirm a milestone plan.
  4. 4. Effort Log: record a 45-minute analysis session without moral judgment. Confirm an effort record.
  5. 5. Context and Constraints: record limited evening availability, data access, and care obligations. Confirm a context record.
  6. 6. Support Map: add a mentor, documentation, and quiet-workspace support. Confirm a support plan.
  7. 7. Recovery and Rest: schedule recovery and pacing. Confirm a sustainable effort plan.
  8. 8. Setback Records: record a missed milestone caused by delayed data access. Confirm a contextual setback record.
  9. 9. Strategy Experiments: compare 25-minute and 50-minute work sessions. Confirm a small learning experiment.
  10. 10. Reflection: record what helped, harmed, changed, or remains uncertain. Confirm a qualitative learning entry.
  11. 11. Learning Patterns: notice better progress with morning sessions. Confirm an advisory user-reviewable pattern.
  12. 12. Progress Measures: track milestones, confidence, wellbeing, support, and learning. Confirm a multidimensional progress view.
  13. 13. Uncertainty: mark low confidence when records are sparse. Confirm an uncertainty note.
  14. 14. Review: let the user reject or revise an inaccurate suggestion. Confirm a human-controlled conclusion.
  15. 15. Export: download only selected records. Confirm a consent-aware bundle.
  16. 16. Decision and Research Handoffs: send a voluntary learning plan to Canvas. Confirm a scoped handoff receipt.

Save and review

  1. Save the final workspace under the sample workspace ID.
  2. Close and reopen it in a clean session.
  3. Compare every feature result with the sample expected_result field.
  4. Document unresolved differences and do not hide warnings.
  5. Export one complete artifact bundle.
  6. Send one supported handoff to an integration and verify its receipt.
