The Ten CNTE-L3PMF Management Domains

Need
Verify that a real, evidence-based problem exists before any project is designed.
Key idea: No verified problem → no CNTE Layer Three project.
Tools & evidence: Needs assessment, baseline study, problem tree

The Ten Project Gates

Gate purpose
Signals of a possible problem are captured.
Required evidence
Community reports, data signals
Possible decisions
GO / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / STOP

CNTE Project Success Model

CPS = D + I + E + C + S
D
Delivery
Scope delivered on time, on budget, to quality
I
Impact
Verified change in the real world
E
Evidence
A complete, verifiable evidence chain
C
Capacity
People and institutions strengthened
S
Sustainability
Value that outlives the project
A conceptual management model — not a simplistic mathematical equation.

Evidence Hierarchy

Level 5 — Impact
Verified long-term change: impact evaluation, verified behavioural change
Level 4 — Outcome
Measured results: competency assessments, outcome surveys
Level 3 — Output
Completed deliverables: certified works, completed products
Level 2 — Activity
Work happened: geotagged photos, supervision reports
Level 1 — Presence
People or assets were there: attendance sheets, delivery notes

Problem Principle
No verified problem → No CNTE Layer Three project.
Diagnostic Principle
Poor problem diagnosis produces poor projects, even when implementation is excellent.
AI Principle
AI may recommend. Evidence must verify. Humans remain responsible.
Digital Principle
Digitize the evidence chain, not bureaucracy.
Quality-at-Scale Principle
Do not scale faster than the system can verify quality.
Scaling Principle
Scale verified transformation, not activity volume.
Sustainability Principle
Leave behind more capacity, more value, stronger systems, and less dependency.
