# [Team name]

*[Course] — [Term]*

## Team

- [Member name]
- [Member name]

## Goals & Ambition

[Choose a grade ambition: top of the curve / strong and efficient / pass, deliberately]

[Member name]: [add a learning goal]

## Roles & Ownership

- Coordinator: [unassigned]
- Integrator: [unassigned]
- Quality bar: [unassigned]
- Liaison: [unassigned]

Roles stay fixed for the term unless the team agrees to change them.

## Meetings

We meet weekly, same day and time.

- Agenda posted 24 hours before or the meeting is cancelled.
- Meetings start on time with a hard stop.
- 5-minute grace period, then we start without you.

## Communication

- Group chat (Slack, Teams, or WhatsApp) is our primary channel.
- Decisions don't live in DMs - anything decided gets posted where the whole team can see it.
- We respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
- We'll flag recruiting-season conflicts as early as possible rather than going dark.

## Quality Bar & Deadlines

"Done" means:

- Proofread by someone other than the author.
- Matches the assignment rubric line-by-line.
- Submitted at least 2 hours before the deadline, not at the wire.

We build in a 24-hour buffer before the real deadline.

## Decisions

We default to consensus. If nobody objects within 24 hours of a proposal, it's approved.

Needs the whole team: [list what always needs everyone]

## Conflict & Accountability

- Raise it directly with the person, privately, as soon as it happens.
- If that doesn't resolve it, raise it with the whole team at the next meeting.
- If it's still unresolved, bring in the Coordinator to help mediate.
- Faculty involvement is reserved for honor-code territory only.

If someone misses three commitments without a heads-up, the team has an honest conversation about whether they're still able to contribute.

We retro after every deliverable.

Peer evaluations contain no surprises - if something's wrong, we say it here first, not just in the eval.

## Commitment

By signing below, we commit to the agreements in this charter and to raising it - not abandoning it - if something isn't working.
