Week 2 Case Review: First price check

Applying the front-end/back-end split to last week's cases — what did the first signal actually price?

1 March 2027

Before the session#

Bring your week 1 paragraph and the front-end signal in it — the profile, the opener, the first meeting, whatever counted as the initial price discovery.

In the session#

Pairs trade cases: each person tries to find the piece of information their partner’s case is quietly assuming the front-end signal proved. This is where “they seemed really into it” usually gets downgraded to “they were good at seeming into it,” which is not an insult, just a variable correction.

Afterwards#

Update your case paragraph with the corrected read. If the correction changes what you think the situation actually is, say so — that revision is itself evidence the model does something.
