Lesson 090: Measurement semantics checklist
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Measurement semantics checklist:90 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Measurement semantics checklist · drill v10 · spin
382150. - 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.
