# Homodyn — Field notes (EP 01)

Lock the model to a job a human already does. If it sits one octave away from the operation, it is entertainment.

## Before the cut

- Name the queue, the output, and who checks it on Friday.
- Write the decision before anyone demos a prompt.
- Plot error-cost × volume. Accuracy is a vanity metric here.

## After the cut

- Keep a reject path as a first-class output.
- Put the notes next to the decision log, not in a slide.
