To eliminate human error during lab submissions and practical examinations, the entire 5-block curriculum is covered by the consolidated master evaluator script: Test-AllPracticals.ps1. This test suite audits the health, reachability, data integrity, and compliance of all 10 core components in a single automated pass.

🧪
One-Command Examination Evaluation Running .\scripts\Test-AllPracticals.ps1 invokes each individual block verification script sequentially, returning a structured pass/fail matrix suitable for direct grading.

📋 10-Point Technical Compliance Matrix
