Lesson 029: Resource estimation stubs
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Resource estimation stubs:29 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas

- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.
