    Part 9 answers: Can I take a spec to green CI on my own?

    The final part hands you a new spec and asks for everything: spec, microarchitecture, RTL, testbench, Makefile and CI, all green. A review rubric tells you exactly what good looks like before you ask anyone else to look.

    Then a map shows where each deep course takes you next, matched to the role you want.

    After this part you can

    • Deliver a second small design from a written spec to green CI.

    • Review your own work against the rubric before asking anyone else.

    • Pick the next course for the role you want: RTL, verification or back-end.
