Lesson 041: Benchmark suite scepticism cards
Focus
Bias toward repeatable experiment notebooks: circuits, mitigation settings, timestamps. Token Benchmark suite scepticism cards:41 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Benchmark suite scepticism cards · drill v1 · spin
376151. - 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.
