Prerequisites: P08-L01 · P08-L03 · P08-L04 · P11-L01

Learning objectives

  • Document purpose constraints and supported network assumptions
  • Produce a requirements record that can reject an unsuitable network assumption.

Why this matters

A launch plan becomes misleading when a network logo substitutes for defined requirements. An offline requirement matrix exposes unavailable capabilities before any deployment or fundraising decision.

Explanation

Begin with purpose and exclusions: what the proposed asset represents, who needs which technical capability and what no token can guarantee. Separate business statements from implementation requirements. Identify exact network assumptions, token standard, decimals, account/control model, custody expectations, supported diagnostic coverage and upgrade constraints. A network may support a contract while a particular tool cannot inspect its permissions.

Make each requirement testable: specify the evidence that would satisfy it, who records it and what blocks progression. Mark unsupported or unknown items instead of choosing a network by popularity. The lesson does not recommend a network or a launch. It prepares an illustrative requirements document that can also conclude “do not proceed.”

Creator Lab may help assemble a creator’s disclosures. Participation, payment or a completed dossier cannot change Radar’s observations, source timestamps, coverage gaps or confidence boundaries. Keep creator assertions in an attributed lane. A network choice changes the technical work required; it does not supply independent verification of the creator.

As an independence requirement, Creator Lab cannot modify, hide, suppress, reorder, override or influence Radar factual diagnostics. Commercial participation must not change diagnostic evidence. This is the teaching boundary; the offline fixture does not verify a deployed enforcement mechanism.

Key terms

Requirement: a capability with an acceptance test.

Assumption: an unverified condition on which the plan depends.

Coverage: what a named diagnostic actually supports.

Blocking condition: evidence missing before progression.

Historical example

ILLUSTRATIVE offline project Cedar proposes a transferable access token with six decimals, a disclosed mint cap and no price or redemption promise. Fictional network N supports the intended interface, but tool coverage for upgrade permissions is unknown. Project labels and all parameters are invented; no asset address exists.

What the evidence proves

The stipulated requirements can be listed and tested on paper. Unknown upgrade coverage is a defined blocker rather than a hidden assumption.

What the evidence does not prove

There is no deployed token, real network selection, compliance assessment, verified creator or financial recommendation. Completion of the plan cannot establish Radar facts.

Common mistakes

Choosing a network from its logo; treating unknown tool coverage as supported; promising liquidity or price; equating a paid Creator Lab dossier with independent diagnostic approval.

Practical exercise

Write four acceptance rows for Cedar: identity/interface, supply cap, upgrade control and diagnostic coverage. Decide whether the stipulated plan can pass its requirements gate.

Show worked correction

Identity/interface: exact network and future asset identifier required, not yet available. Supply: six decimals and cap must be checked against a specific implementation, absent here. Upgrade control: authority and all implementation-change paths must be recorded, absent here. Diagnostic coverage: an explicit supported field/source boundary is needed; unknown coverage fails that requirement. Therefore this fictional plan remains a draft and does not pass a launch-readiness gate. No deployment, wallet connection or payment is required.

Checklist

  • State purpose and exclusions.
  • Use exact technical assumptions and testable acceptance rows.
  • Mark unsupported coverage as a blocker.
  • Keep creator assertions separate from Radar observations.

Summary

A requirements dossier records assumptions and can stop progression when evidence is missing.

Summary

  • Capability and diagnostic coverage are different requirements.
  • Unknown fields can block a plan.
  • Commercial participation cannot change diagnostic facts.

Tools

Use the named ZECOIN tool only as an evidence-reading context. This lesson creates no tool output, account session or entitlement. Offline exercise; do not sign, deploy, approve or fund anything.

Sources & claim boundaries

  • ERC20: ERC-20 standard — Token interface and allowance semantics; the standard does not establish issuer identity or safe permissions. Boundary: Mechanism documentation only; original illustrative values are stipulated, not observations. Historical records have separately frozen provenance and explicit collection gaps.
  • PROXY: ERC-1967 proxy storage slots — Standardized implementation/admin slots; renouncing one role does not establish all upgrade paths disabled.
