Week 3 Worklog

Work Completed

• Evaluated the original real-time AI communication assistant idea.
• Listed technical risks: streaming latency, diarization accuracy, privacy, demo stability, and scope explosion.
• Compared three MVP options: post-conversation coach, interview practice coach, and near-real-time insight board.

Results Achieved

• Selected the post-conversation Cognitive Communication Coach as the final MVP.
• Defined the target users: students, interns, junior engineers, interview candidates, and presentation learners.
• Wrote the first version of the project problem statement.

Learning Outcomes

• Reducing scope is not weakening a project; it can make the architecture more credible.
• A project should have a clear success path and fallback path.
