Week 4 Studio: Rebuilding the Meridian Drift timeline

Reconstructing the case study's publisher-collapse timeline from primary sources, in parallel with the lecture's deck

15 March 2027

Before the studio#

Watch or skim the week 4 deck before arriving — today builds directly on it rather than repeating it.

In the studio#

Working from the same archived forum threads and wiki edits used to build the lecture’s deck, you’ll independently reconstruct the timeline of Meridian Drift’s development and its publisher’s closure, then compare notes with another pair. Disagreements are expected and useful.

Afterwards#

This is week 10’s method (community archives as evidence) in miniature — you’re getting an early, guided run at it before doing it unsupervised on your own artifact.
