# Week 08 commitment

State: UNCONFIRMED. Owner: Peter Ciancaglini. [Specification](./specs.md)

Start date: not set. End date: not set. Available hours: confirm (planned ceiling 10).
Primary outcome: technical report gate.
Minimum that keeps the next gate alive: the report on Zenodo.

## Deliverables to commit

- [ ] `softsensor-benchmark.csv`: MAE/RMSE, N, uncertainty and observation cutoff are logged for both baselines.
- [ ] `technical-report-outline.md`: The draft contains data provenance, method, results, limitations and reproduction commands.
- [ ] `gate-08-checklist.md`: Actual report DOI, public F1 link and five send receipts are required for the source gate.
- [ ] Bounded learning exercise and personal teach-back.
- [ ] Evidence-backed branding and opportunity pack.
- [ ] Sunday review and next physical action.

## Proposed calendar

| Day | Minutes | Physical action / outcome | Actual slot | Done |
|---|---:|---|---|---|
| Mon | 90 | Benchmark PLS and LightGBM titer prediction at 25/50/75 percent of observable batch time with grouped splits and an explicit forecast target. | Not set | [ ] |
| Tue | 90 | A 2-page "biology for my thesis" summary | Not set | [ ] |
| Wed | 90 | Write the 8–10 page technical report from existing figures and methods, review claims, and include FermLit evaluation evidence separately. Last ten minutes: optional note. | Not set | [ ] |
| Thu | 90 | micrograd rewritten from memory Include relevant founder-paper work within this block. | Not set | [ ] |
| Fri | 90 | Prepare batchlens v0.2, the report deposit, public field-score table and five personalized founder messages. | Not set | [ ] |
| Sat | 90 | Resolve critical spillover; long-form draft if due; sandbox only if done. | Not set | [ ] |
| Sun | 60 | Build log, evidence, gap review, next actions. | Not set | [ ] |

## Dependency and capacity check

- Missing essential inputs: not yet inspected.
- Human/external dependency, owner and expected date: not yet inspected.
- Week-specific constraint: Report drafting, publishing and micrograd exceed one short block if started from zero. Assemble figures throughout prior weeks, use Saturday for packaging, and leave the gate pending if evidence is incomplete.
- Existing session authorization for external actions or spending: not assessed; local planning only at scaffold creation.
- Scope to cut first: optional polish/additional examples; preserve scientific validity.
- If the forecast exceeds available time: record a concrete reduced scope or revised delivery proposal before committing.

Peter's commitment / adjustments: pending.
Reviewing model and date: pending.
