Development Fund Proposal Submission
Proposal file:

Summary
This proposal requests funding for an open-source capstone and assessment framework for Daml 3 and Canton learning programs. It delivers reusable builder-focused starter repositories, a deterministic Python autograder, CI integration, migration validation, and instructor workflows that help turn training investment into repeatable developer capacity across workshops, hackathons, and future certification-style programs.

Notes for Reviewers
This proposal is intentionally scoped as reusable developer infrastructure rather than a full curriculum or LMS. The funded package is broader than a grading script: it includes at least three real Daml 3 capstone kits, rubric and scoring contracts, migration-specific validation rules, GitHub Action integration, pilot cohort validation, and polished documentation and release packaging.
