# Week 40 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: final retrospective and career decision.
Minimum that keeps the next gate alive: Write the evidence audit, career decision and next 90 days from actual outcomes, with every unmet gate and ongoing commitment explicit.

## Deliverables to commit

- [ ] `final-evidence-audit.md`: Write the evidence audit, career decision and next 90 days from actual outcomes, with every unmet gate and ongoing commitment explicit.
- [ ] `career-decision.md`: The choice and its reasoning are written; no offer is invented.
- [ ] `next-90-days.md`: Owners and next dates cover every open commitment beyond week 40.
- [ ] 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 | Audit all paper, release, talk, collaboration and engagement evidence; separate submitted/public/accepted and invoiced/received income. | Not set | [ ] |
| Tue | 90 | One concise applied note, a worked decision/example and unresolved questions. | Not set | [ ] |
| Wed | 90 | Compare consulting, employment and hybrid options using actual offers/pipeline, income, capacity, scientific growth and the culture filter. 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 | [ ] |

## Dependency and capacity check

- Missing essential inputs: not yet inspected.
- Human/external dependency, owner and expected date: not yet inspected.
- Week-specific constraint: Completion targets include three preprints (one co-authored), two journal submissions, one JOSS submission, three instrument DOIs, a delivered talk and paid engagement. If any are unmet, record an incomplete gate and a recovery route; an early suitable job can be a valid alternative outcome per v5.
- 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.
