Connect discovery to a concrete design
Name a requirement that changed the approach. Recovery expectations, existing interfaces, support capacity and data access can all affect a design. A useful bullet might say that you compared two options against an agreed workload and documented the trade-offs. Keep the stakeholder's decision separate from your recommendation. If you facilitated the review, say that rather than claiming sole ownership of an organisation-wide strategy.
Show how you tested an assumption
An early prototype is valuable when it resolves uncertainty. Describe the question it answered and what changed afterwards. In this fictional document, an integration test reveals a rate-limit constraint before delivery starts. The point is the design consequence, not simply that a prototype existed. Do not publish private diagrams, credentials, customer identifiers or commercially sensitive cost models to prove the work.
Use frameworks as context, not a credential
Familiarity with a framework can inform your vocabulary, but it is not certification or proof that a workload meets every requirement. List a cloud credential only if you earned it, and keep its current status accurate. A mixed-cloud or on-premises role may need a different set of examples from the same career.
