Audits
The twelve-week teaching schedule: what happens in each audit, what to prepare, and what leaves the room.
Each audit follows the week's lecture and takes the notice apart: naming a specific claim, checking it against the migration path and breaking changes, and saying what evidence would settle it if the lecture didn't. This is where the Weekly Audit Log entries come from.
Your first audit
The first audit --- practising on the directory assistance notice, where the outcome is already known, before you have to audit anything live
Week 1 · 22 February 2027
Auditing a live migration
The second audit --- the same close-reading habit from week 1, applied to an industry whose ending we don't already know
Week 2 · 1 March 2027
Reading a control-loop pitch
A mechanical/clerical audit --- practising on an industry framed as a simple control-loop task, and checking whether that framing holds
Week 3 · 8 March 2027
When the pitch is true
An expert-work audit --- the hardest case for scepticism, where the pitch's numbers really do hold up
Week 4 · 15 March 2027
What a pitch's framing hides
An informational/creative audit --- checking what "the same job, done faster" quietly leaves out of its own description
Week 5 · 22 March 2027
The apprenticeship argument
The last audit before the break --- a task worth automating and worth keeping, for two different reasons, at once
Week 6 · 29 March 2027
The tier the pitch didn't touch
The first post-break audit --- checking a rollback plan's claim that the untouched tier is actually safe
Week 7 · 19 April 2027
Measuring the wrong thing
A care/relational audit --- when a pitch's efficiency numbers answer a question nobody needed answered
Week 8 · 26 April 2027
Auditing a strained notice
The audit gets harder here --- this week's notice doesn't split cleanly into "confident pitch" and "damning audit," and the session is about working with that instead of forcing it back into week 1's shape
Week 9 · 3 May 2027
Auditing a naming dispute
The most strained audit in the course --- where the disagreement is about what a word means, not what the facts are
Week 10 · 10 May 2027
Checking a pitch's scope
A physical/seasonal audit --- catching the gap between what a pitch names and what its migration path actually covers
Week 11 · 17 May 2027
The Sunset Review Board
The capstone audit --- defending or blocking a real notice in front of the class, using every skill this semester built
Week 12 · 24 May 2027
