- [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked
- [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
- [Assignment 1: the audit](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/assignment-1/): The audit — a recommendation the team bought, tested against the race it was written for and the rival who responds to it
- [The labs](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/labs/): Eleven labs across weeks 2 to 12, each one finished in the room, with the best ten counting
- [Final project: the defence](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/the-defence/): Written knowing the result — the calls justified against the distribution they faced rather than the result they got
- [Final project: the instrument](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/the-instrument/): The semester's artefact — your own race simulator and the wall you designed for it, submitted with the limits you are willing to declare
- [Final project: the race](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/assessments/the-race/): One live race in the exam period, the cohort as the grid, on a draw everybody shares — marked on conduct and not on where you finish
- [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/): What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.
- [Week 1: The pit wall](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-01/): What a strategist actually decides, why a finishing position is too thin an evidence base to tell them whether they decided well, and what the rulebook fixes first
- [Week 2: What a lap time is made of](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-02/): One car alone on track, one stint of lap times, and the measurement a single stint cannot give you — fuel burn against tyre wear
- [Week 3: The stop — what it costs and what you're allowed](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-03/): Price a complete pit stop against the laps that would have happened, then find which race strategies survive Friday's tyre returns
- [Week 4: The race as a loop](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-04/): Turn a legal tyre strategy into a finishing time by making every lap, stop and physical-set age transition explicit
- [Week 5: Track position](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-05/): Add fixed other-car traces to the race and watch the fastest isolated stop lose when it rejoins in traffic
- [Week 6: Best response, not optimisation](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-06/): Replace one fixed rival trace with a response, precommit the evidence that would change the call, and defend the returned result
- [Week 7: The safety car](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-07/): Price one lap of waiting for a possible Safety Car, reject unavailable tyre sets before scoring, and state the hazard that would reverse the call
- [Week 8: Weather](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-08/): Compare irreversible wet-weather commitments across a supplied forecast ensemble, preserve the position-first objective, and state the downside
- [Week 9: Distributions](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-09/): Repeat supplied interruption and weather draws to produce two complete finishing-position distributions and a fair paired comparison
- [Week 10: Whose race is it?](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-10/): Rank the same two-car race outcomes first for the team and then for car 14, with the objective and its stakeholder stated
- [Week 11: The screen](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-11/): One situation shown on the same pit wall twice — every quantity at full precision, then five lines and the objective named — and the measurement that separates them
- [Week 12: Calibration](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/lectures/week-12/): Backtest a supplied model's P3-or-better probabilities in aggregate and by condition, then state exactly where they should not be believed
- [People](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/people/): Who teaches the course, and how to reach them.
- [Kwame Ferriter](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/people/kwame-ferriter/): Works on calibration — whether a stated probability happens at its stated rate — and on the pit wall room itself, which he maintains.
- [Naila Sorge](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/people/naila-sorge/): Studies decisions whose right answer depends on what somebody else does, and commitments that cannot be taken back once they are made.
- [Rafaela Dunne](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/people/rafaela-dunne/): Works on decisions taken against a distribution rather than a fact, and on what a model has to do before anybody is entitled to act on it.
- [Tobias Wren](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/people/tobias-wren/): Builds the Faculty's synthetic seasons, so most of the timing data this course reads is his. Works on what a measurement can and cannot be asked to support.
- [Policies and support](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-mattxreynolds/policies/): No late work, and AI use declared rather than hidden. The course-wide rules are stated here once, so an assessment page can point at one of them rather than repeat it.
