Abstract
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.
