Week 12: Course Retrospective: Applying the Full Model

Assembling framing, attraction, reliability, dependency, specificity, reciprocity, commitment, protocol, monitoring, and risk into one reading of a single case

10 May 2027

Ten variables, introduced one per week so that no lecture ever asked you to hold more than one new thing at once, converge here. The retrospective’s job is to show that the model composes — that a case can be read end to end, from initial price discovery through to a monitored, risk-disclosed position, without switching vocabularies partway through. That composability is the actual claim of the course, more than any individual week’s content: not that relationships are simple once modelled, but that they are legible once modelled consistently.

The final audit, due this week, asks for exactly that: one case, read against the full model, correctly and specifically, using the terms the semester built rather than the folk vocabulary each of you started with in week 1.

Outline#

• a full worked case, read variable by variable, from framing through risk
• where the model composes cleanly, and where two variables interact in a way no single week covered on its own
• what changes about a case once every variable has been priced, versus reading only the two or three that feel most relevant
• the final audit brief, and what “stands on its own” means for a holistically marked capstone
