LAB HUNT SEQUENCE (scorecard upgrade) 2026-08-24T01:13:00Z
map → path when human responds in writing

  1 Draft 1-page test protocol          → TEST_PROTOCOL_ONE_PAGE.txt ✓
  2 Email PRIMARY stack (see below)     → UCLA_CTRL · CSUCI · Ventura · Cal Lu ✓
  3 Written scope confirmation          → WAIT (Bri sends tonight)
  4 Sign SOW — one claim only           → after step 3 · ≤$9k execute until scope
  5 Paid lab report in hand             → not yet → then PASS

PRIMARY  UCLA CTRL → CSUCI / Ventura / Cal Lutheran (academic compute witness)
SPLIT    Keysight/NTS instrument slice $3–5k + uni co-sign $5–8k (see SPEND_15K_MAP)
OPTIONAL Experior Oxnard — feasibility ONLY ≤$1.5k · custom eng likely · NOT $15k primary
PARALLEL GCP credits · LEAP intro walk (not metrology cert)

WHY demote Experior (Bri gut + fleet law)
  ISO 17025 there = optical/env/EMC scope · NOT memcpy/GB/s compute accreditation
  Full cert on our claim likely = non-accredited custom letter · bad $/trust for $15k

CANCER   parked · separate lane · not active

WORD=amen · ucla_first · experior_optional_only · rooting_for_not_yet
