# Week 36 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: journal and joss submissions.
Minimum that keeps the next gate alive: Prepare the two journal packages and JOSS readiness assessment; submit eligible packages when authorized and log any unmet gate item.

## Deliverables to commit

- [ ] `journal-fit-matrix.md`: Prepare the two journal packages and JOSS readiness assessment; submit eligible packages when authorized and log any unmet gate item.
- [ ] `journal-submission-log.md`: Actual receipts are tracked independently from drafts and acceptance.
- [ ] `joss-readiness.md`: Submit only if eligible; otherwise document the gaps without calling a DOI peer review.
- [ ] 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 | Select one suitable journal each for Papers 1 and 2; check current scope, fees, author instructions and prior-publication policy. | Not set | [ ] |
| Tue | 90 | One concise applied note, a worked decision/example and unresolved questions. | Not set | [ ] |
| Wed | 90 | Prepare manuscript/cover-letter/data/code packages, author approvals and submission records for the two journals. 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 | Audit batchlens against current JOSS requirements, including sustained public history, research use, packaging, docs/tests and contribution; prepare software paper. | 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: JOSS eligibility is not automatic for a small tool. Week 36 seeks submissions, not acceptance; no L5 promotion from submission receipts alone.
- 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.
