## The one-page evidence file you are building

Last lesson you built a summary template in a shared doc so AI could critique your thinking without rewriting your facts. Keep that doc open. This lesson is the assembly pass: five artifacts, one page, every line defensible.

A personal brand portfolio is not a mood board or a highlight reel. It is a one-page evidence file. A stranger should be able to read it and explain what you stand for, who you help, and why they should believe you, without you in the room. You will use it for intro emails, interviews, performance conversations, and the capstone review.

  V["🧭<br/>Values statement"] --> P["Portfolio"]
  S["💪<br/>Strengths map"] --> P
  A["👥<br/>Audience profile"] --> P
  L["🎯<br/>Positioning line"] --> P
  T["📖<br/>Authentic story"] --> P
```

Format: one page or one shared doc with five labeled sections. Links to artifacts are allowed. Decoration is not the work.

## What each of the five pieces must contain

| Piece | What it must contain | Evidence test |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Values statement | Three core values. For each, one sentence of observable behavior and one evidence line. | Can you name the moment? |
| Strengths map | Three to five strengths. Pair each with a specific scene and an outcome or observed change. | Would a peer recognize the scene? |
| Audience profile | One primary audience, their goal, their obstacle, and the signal that builds trust. | Can you name one real person or role? |
| Positioning line | One sentence: audience, outcome, approach, proof. | Is the outcome specific enough to disagree with? |
| Authentic story | 150 to 250 words, one scene, a choice under tension, a result, and what it shows about how you work. | Could you defend every detail in an interview? |
