Research readiness

This is research mentorship, not a casual coding club.

Math-grounded work

Students build quantitative precision before relying on tools, models, or shortcuts.

Documentation discipline

Source logs, notebooks, reproducible code, figures, and revisions become visible evidence of ownership.

Selective accountability

Small-team mentoring works only when students can accept correction and keep steady work between meetings.
