IoT soil-moisture monitor for a campus garden
| Area | Status | Finding | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Problem & relevance | On track | Clear user (garden staff) and measurable benefit (water use). | Keep. |
| Scope | Fix | Mobile app + web dashboard + ML prediction is too much for 12 weeks. | Drop ML; keep alerts and dashboard. |
| Hardware & data | On track | ESP32 and capacitive sensors are affordable and documented. | Order two spare sensors. |
| Method & evaluation | Fix | No plan to measure sensor accuracy. | Compare with manual readings, 20 samples. |
| Timeline | Risk | Testing planned in the last week only. | Start field tests by week 6. |
| Viva risk | Fix | Members unsure who explains the firmware. | Assign one owner per module. |
Summary. Go ahead with a reduced scope. Biggest risk: late testing. First action this week: finalise the circuit and order spares.
