Pods & Cross-Testing

Pod structure. Teams assigned the same regulation form a pod:

1. Shared specification — the pod converges on one interpretation/spec of the obligation.
2. Independent implementation — each team builds its own system against that spec.
3. Cross-testing — teams test one another's systems against the shared spec, surfacing spec gaps and conformance failures.

This makes the specification the shared engineering artifact and the implementations the independent variable — the assessment model rewards a spec precise enough that independent systems can be cross-tested against it.

TODO — placeholder. Populate from the source materials (slide decks, project handouts) as they land. See course/README.md for the metadata + contribution conventions.
