Presenting your result

This lesson is still being tested: it improves with learners' feedback. If something is unclear, it is the lesson that needs fixing, not you.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to

write the “how I did it” sheet for your project, on one page;
have an AI prepare it without embellishment;
check every sentence against your journal;
present your result in five minutes, mistakes included.

Why it matters to you

Presenting your project means passing it on: to someone who wants to do the same, to a person who helped you, to a future employer, or to yourself in six months. A presentation that shows only successes convinces no one. One that shows the approach, the mistakes spotted and what is left to do shows that you know how to work with AI. And that is exactly what the course has taught you.

Before you start


You need	Your journal and your final project sheet (lessons 1 and 2), your assistant (free account), and the “how I did it” sheet (resource)
Cost	€0
Duration	50 minutes
Reminder	No personal data about other people in your presentation without their agreement

Understand it in 3 minutes

The “how I did it” sheet, in eight parts (template in the resource): the starting problem, the result, the approach, the tools and the real costs, the mistakes and their corrections, what you would do the same way, what you would do differently, what is left to do.

It is built from your journal. Everything it says must be found there. An AI can prepare it, as long as you tell it to use only the journal, without adding any result. Then you check every sentence.

What makes it credible:

what is not done is written as not done;
the mistakes are there, with their correction;
the cost and the time are real (your journal noted them, lesson 2).

The five-minute presentation follows the sheet: the problem (30 seconds), the result shown (2 minutes), two mistakes and their correction (1 minute), what you would do differently (1 minute), what is left (30 seconds). For slides, use the method from module 10, lesson 3.

Do it together

1Step 1: Have the sheet prepared

Open the resource “How I did it” sheet, and use its request with your journal.

In our test of 24/10/2026, with a slightly shorter request than the one in the resource (six parts, without the pasted template) and the invented journal of a welcome booklet over four weeks, the sheet kept the five mistakes and their corrections, wrote that “The booklet has not yet been approved by the board and has not yet been sent to new members”, added up the time (“12 h in total”), and listed what the journal did not allow it to fill in, such as the starting problem.

The resource’s request has eight parts, two of which are yours (step 3): “What I would do the same way” and “What I would do differently”. If the AI fills them in, delete what it wrote: it is not in your journal.

2Step 2: Check every sentence

Go through the “Before you show it” list in the resource. For each sentence of the sheet, find the journal line that justifies it. A sentence with no line: delete it, or complete your journal if it is true.

3Step 3: What only you can write

Fill in the parts “What I would do the same way” and “What I would do differently”. This is your view of your own method: an AI cannot write it for you.

4Step 4: The presentation

Prepare 4 to 6 slides, or simply the sheet on screen and your result. Practice once, with a timer: five minutes.

Your turn

The deliverable of module 13, first part: your finished final project, and its “how I did it” sheet, checked sentence by sentence. If you can, present it to someone: a person around you, your team, or the person you did it for.

Check your work

It worked if:

your sheet fits on one page, and every sentence can be found in your journal;
the mistakes and what is left to do are in it;
you wrote yourself what you would do the same way, and differently;
your presentation fits in five minutes.

Common mistakes:

a sheet that shows only successes;
writing “approved” or “sent” before it is done;
an estimated cost instead of the real cost;
showing personal data about other people, without their agreement.

Keep it and pick it up later

File the sheet with the project. It will help you talk about it, for your CV if you wish, and for your next project.

Going further

optional

Have your sheet reread by a second pair of eyes (module 9, lesson 4), with this instruction: “Point out every sentence that embellishes the result, or that is not justified by the journal.”

New words

3 words explained

Word	What it means
“How I did it” sheet	The page that tells the story of your project: problem, result, approach, mistakes, what is left
Embellish	Present a result as better than it is
Real cost	What the project really cost, in euros and in hours

The test in step 1 was actually run with Claude Code 2.1.310, on an invented journal, in a new, isolated session (test report, T60). To be checked: it has not been rerun in the app or in ChatGPT, and the exact request in the resource (eight parts) was not run as is.
