Lesson 105: Algorithm family selection drills
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Algorithm family selection drills:105 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Algorithm family selection drills · drill v5 · spin
844624. - Habit: pair each job with shot budget, mitigation profile, and a calibration fingerprint you could paste.
- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.
