# Week 21 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: protein study and partner scope.
Minimum that keeps the next gate alive: Write paper-3-protocol.md with one testable target, one dataset/split and a concrete partner-call request; run one verified baseline if data are ready.

## Deliverables to commit

- [ ] `paper-3-protocol.md`: Write paper-3-protocol.md with one testable target, one dataset/split and a concrete partner-call request; run one verified baseline if data are ready.
- [ ] `embedding-manifest.csv`: Actual memory/runtime fit is measured before a full run; failed sequences are retained.
- [ ] `protein-baselines.csv`: A baseline table and concrete request for scientific input exist.
- [ ] 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 | Write Paper 3 question, target quantity, label context, dataset/split choice and available partner capabilities; create the repository plan. | Not set | [ ] |
| Tue | 90 | One concise applied note, a worked decision/example and unresolved questions. | Not set | [ ] |
| Wed | 90 | Benchmark a small embedding batch, then cache permitted sequences with model/version, pooling, truncation and checksums. Last ten minutes: optional note. | Not set | [ ] |
| Thu | 90 | One concise applied note, a worked decision/example and unresolved questions. Include relevant founder-paper work within this block. | Not set | [ ] |
| Fri | 90 | Train ridge/GBM/small-MLP baselines on frozen splits and prepare partner call materials. | 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: An overnight embedding job is unattended compute, not extra working hours. Thermal proteome measurements are not automatically purified-enzyme stability measurements.
- 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.
