WEEK 24 · GATE 24: CO-AUTHORSHIP AGREED
In a well-run joint venture, the most important document is signed before any money moves: who contributes what, who owns what, what counts as success. Science has the same document, smaller and friendlier: a paragraph on authorship and a pre-registered validation plan. Pre-registration is your old friend "acceptance criteria before the sprint", except you publish it in the repo before the lab results arrive, so nob…

LabXchange simulations on protein expression/purification or enzyme assays (search the library; verify availability) so the partner's words land on a picture

By Sunday you should be able to say: “A scientist has agreed in writing to co-author with me, and the definition of success is frozen in my repo before any data exists." --- # ACT VI · The first client (weeks 25-32) > Act VI story. The cartographer opens a small office on the town square. On the wall: two published maps (your preprints) and one being drawn with a local guide (Paper 3). On the desk: two survey instruments (batchlens, and this act's new one, trialkit). On the door: a price list with one item, the Loop Audit, fixed price, two weeks. Townspeople do not buy maps; they buy fewer wasted journeys. Act VI is where "I measure loops" becomes "I am paid to measure your loop". While the office opens, the partner's lab is running your candidates; results arrive mid-act, and Paper 3 is written with them”
