Week 1 Champion Lab: Calibration and champion contract

Lock one champion and role, record a baseline, and define the first evidence-backed training queue.

25 February 2027

Before

Bring one complete replay and a short explanation of why this champion matters to you.

In the lab

Run a controls check, review the baseline in pairs, and write a champion contract: scope, evidence source, weekly practice budget, and conditions for changing the plan.

Leaves the room

A versioned baseline card and the first plan → drill → test → review → revise loop.

The spec

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.

one champion and primary role are named, with a fallback practice mode
a replay baseline includes three timestamped decision points
the next test queue contains one mechanics, matchup, and global goal
