- [The Alignment Lab](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/alignment-lab/): A four-role, live-then-async decision simulation — how it runs, its fairness and safety rules, and a fully worked public example.
- [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
- [The Alignment Lab](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/assessments/alignment-lab/): A four-role, live-then-async decision simulation, run once as a group and then audited alone — the semester's central assessment.
- [Decision Autopsy](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/assessments/decision-autopsy/): An individual close reading of one real, publicly documented decision — what its paper trail can and cannot show about where the decision actually formed, argued with evidence rather than assumed.
- [Decision System Redesign](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/assessments/decision-system-redesign/): The capstone — redesign the process behind a decision, using what the Alignment Lab audit taught you about how your own group actually decided.
- [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/): What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.
- [Week 1 lecture: Three kinds of claim](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-01/): Why the whole course rests on telling fact from inference from unknown, and the full debrief of the Engagement Signal Pilot's opening timeline.
- [Week 2 lecture: Invitation is not decision right](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-02/): A taxonomy for reading who a meeting actually includes, and the full debrief of the Steering Committee's invite list.
- [Week 3 lecture: Framing the table](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-03/): The research behind agenda-setting effects, and a close read of the two Engagement Signal Pilot agenda drafts.
- [Week 4 lecture: What 'stacking' actually means](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-04/): Why no single document proves a decision was pre-made, and how a small set of documents together can still raise the burden of proof — read through two new documents from the pilot's own record.
- [Week 5 lecture: Timing is a lever, not just a delay](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-05/): Why when a document arrives can carry as much argument as what it says — read through a risk addendum that lands the night before a decision.
- [Week 6 lecture: What minutes leave out](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-06/): Silence in a meeting record is not the absence of a position — it can be one, or it can just be how minutes compress a meeting; read through the minutes of the 13 March working group and learn to tell the difference.
- [Week 7 lecture: Power in the room](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-07/): Whose suggestion reads as settled without a second thought, and whose gets worked hard for a hearing — read through a transcript of the meeting Weeks 4 and 6 have already shown you from the outside.
- [Week 8 lecture: Dissent without disappearing](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-08/): What gets lost between a transcript and its minutes, and how to make a dissent hard to lose in the first place.
- [Week 9 lecture: Decision rights, leverage, and who actually has to agree](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-09/): Four kinds of standing in a decision, and why "in the room" and "able to block the outcome" are not the same thing — the concept lecture behind this week's Alignment Lab role assignment.
- [Week 10 lecture: Minutes make memory](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-10/): Why the written record of a decision, not the decision itself, is what everyone downstream actually inherits — revisiting Weeks 6 and 7's minutes and transcript from a new angle.
- [Week 11 lecture: The ethics of alignment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-11/): Two different questions that get collapsed into one — was the process fair, and was the outcome fair — and why a decision can pass one test and fail the other.
- [Week 12 lecture: Redesigning the decision](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Fzflz-Sun/lectures/week-12/): Bringing the semester's separate threads — invite lists, agendas, timing, minutes, leverage — together into criteria for a process worth trusting.
