Lesson 058: Calibration window awareness
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Calibration window awareness:58 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Calibration window awareness · drill v8 · spin
631302. - 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.
