Loops that verify and stop

A useful loop observes fresh state, makes one bounded change, checks the result, and stops on success or lack of progress. Learn to make completion evidence visible.

State the outcome and evidence

Replace “make it work” with a result that can be checked, such as a passing build, a visible page behavior, or a document matching a rubric.

Choose the smallest fitting loop

Use Fix & Verify for a failing implementation, Test Improvement for weak coverage, and Research Loop when new evidence can change the next search.

Name the stopping condition

Stop on verified success, a required approval, a repeated blocker, or measurable stagnation. “Keep trying forever” is not autonomy; it is missing product design.

Finish with an honest check

Complete the lesson only when you performed or deliberately inspected each observation—not simply because you read the page.
