The system that fits the school

Supply a workload trace, privacy boundary and budget. Compare simulated and measured timings without treating them as equivalent.

Hypothesis and criterion

Name the expected effect, metric and what would count against the hypothesis.

Method and reproducibility

Record fixtures, source, version, parameters, units, controls and how cases are split.

Paired evidence

Case and split Baseline result Changed result Interpretation

Counterexample and revised design

A sensitive request cannot be routed to an otherwise fast hosted service when policy forbids that data transfer; the system needs a safe overload outcome.

Record your new case and rerun the original cases after redesign.

Individual defence

Explain the mechanism, one exact result and what would overturn your conclusion.

Remaining uncertainty and handover

A simulator does not measure actual hardware. Add measured traces before making procurement claims.

Next test: _ . Project filename: _ . Work that is mine and tools I used: ____ .

Keep your work

Use fictional data. Download a resumable project before changing devices. On a shared device, turn remembering off and clear your work when finished.
