Week 4 Care Lab: Catwatch Showcase

No new task — presenting a misjudged signal and a downgraded inference from your finished Catwatch log, and carrying it into The Care Model

17 March 2027

No separate task this week

Catwatch is already due — Wed 17 Mar 2027, 08:30, before the earliest timetabled group — so there is no new preparation task. Come to your Care Lab having already submitted, with two things picked out of your own log:

  1. one signal you initially misjudged, and what you misjudged it as
  2. one claim you started as Inferred and later downgraded to Unknown

In the Care Lab

This week’s session is a showcase, not a new exercise: in your timetabled group, each person presents their misjudged signal and their downgraded inference, briefly — what you thought at first, what changed, and why. Name which of Week 3’s ideas — repetition, routine, register, or interaction history — explains why the signal meant something different than you first read it as. Listening to other people’s misjudgements is often more useful than reviewing your own; the patterns that trip up several people at once are usually the ones worth carrying forward deliberately.

Afterwards

The Care Model, released this week, asks you to structure exactly the kind of material Catwatch produced — including its mistakes. A misjudged signal you can now name is more useful going in than a log with no visible errors in it at all.
