    Lab 006: Put the judgment in the constraints, not the weights

    Fine-tuning captured voice and bounded behavior, not judgment; one paragraph of standing positions in the system prompt beat two fine-tuning rounds.

    Lab 005: Authority you reclaim is authority you run

    A cloud-free serve path is provable end to end; every layer moved from Ceded to Retained is a decision you now own and a system you now operate.

    Lab 004: You can’t automate a process you haven’t encoded

    The control plane held where patterns were owned and encoded, and failed where the model became the author of correctness. The question is who may author the patterns and done-criteria.

    Lab 003: The validator determines done, not the loop

    About 5% of tasks benefit from same-tier repair; the control point is the deterministic validator plus escalation policy, not the loop.

    Lab 002: Own the weights, or the platform owns you

    For a custom model you own, cloud token pricing disappears and becomes a rented floor; against a floor the owned box wins, and the managed path takes the weights.

    Lab 001: Borrow the vendor’s plumbing, not its judgment

    The managed data plane is cheap and fast; the cost it hides is the chunking judgment it takes from you. Borrow the plumbing, keep your own chunking.
