Experiment Patterns

Use this structure for exploratory and experimental work:

Title and objective: state the question and the success criteria.
Setup and reproducibility: import only what you need, set a seed early, and keep configuration in one short cell.
Plan: list hypotheses, sweeps, and metrics before running code.
Minimal baseline: start with the smallest runnable example and confirm it runs end-to-end before adding complexity.
Results and notes: summarize findings in markdown near the relevant code and record key metrics in a small dictionary or table-like structure.
Next steps: decide whether to continue, pivot, or stop, and capture follow-up ideas as short bullets.
