Exemplar 4 — Handy Man Hiring

70 / 80 (≈ top band) The strongest of the school exemplars. Read this first to see what top-band work looks like — but mind the section mapping below.

Mark scheme: legacy /80 (6-section). This submission predates the current 9-section structure. The mapping to the current spec is:

Implementation below covers what is now Prototype + Post-Prototype Refinement + Software Development.
Testing below covers what is now Developmental Testing + Testing.

Still a useful top-band benchmark for the quality of analysis, design and code — just don't expect it to be split into the current 9 sections.
