Show the answer

A workable proposition must be specific enough to fail. A project also needs a stopping condition, which is what would count as the work being finished. Firing a test tile or casting a sample is a material test. Evidence gathered throughout the process is assembled into a dossier.

Why

The first blank is the whole discipline of the lesson. A proposition that could not come out badly gives no guidance about what to make, and no way of telling when the work is done, which is why the vaguest projects are also the ones that never finish.
