What I've accomplished

I built and hosted a one-page partner screener that summarized Khan Academy's funding model and partnership types, and submitted the live URL as the deliverable.

Project breakdown

Situation: the externship asked for a single-screen partner summary. Task: produce a one-screener. Action: I created and hosted a one-page screener and submitted its URL. Result: the deliverable is available at the submitted link.

I analyzed four free-to-paid organizations, shortlisted practical monetization models for Khan Academy, and published the shortlist as a shareable Google Doc link. The deliverable summarized precedents, adaptation notes, and recommended next steps.
