Week 3 Drop-in clinic: Project 1 Pilot Clinic

An evidence-led drop-in clinic for diagnosing a training pilot before committing to the principal Project 1 run

8 March 2027 · Drop-in clinic

Time: Monday 8 March 2027, 15:00–16:00 AET · online.

Drop-in clinics are not additional lectures or graded checkpoints. They are evidence-led troubleshooting sessions. Students may attend for any portion of the hour. Staff can help interpret a failure or assess whether a comparison is controlled, but they do not select an assessed method or write a report conclusion for a student.

Bring one item

Both parameter preflight reports; a token/runtime estimate; a train/validation curve; a gradient or memory trace; or a concrete failed run.

Clinic sequence

A two-minute problem statement; evidence screen-share; identify whether the fault is data, target, architecture, optimisation, runtime, or evaluation; agree on the smallest next check.

Expected outcome

A written decision to continue, revise one factor, or stop, with a reason and maximum additional spend.

After the session

De-identified common-issue notes are posted; there is no model solution.

The spec

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