How Templates work

Templates are curated notebook starters — designed to be edited. Open one, run it, then tweak assumptions and save your own version.

Back to top
  • Templates open into Notebook via a local inbox bridge (offline-safe).
  • Every template is meant to be modified: change constants, units, and initial conditions.
  • Use snapshots and exports for repeatability and backups.
  • If a result matters, verify it: unit checks + an alternate method (graph/estimate).
Recommended workflow
  • Open a template, then read the first cell (assumptions + units).
  • Run once with the default values to understand expected output.
  • Edit parameters and rerun. Capture a snapshot when you reach a stable configuration.
  • Save a copy (duplicate notebook) before major changes so you can branch scenarios.
Common mistakes
  • Changing numbers without updating units/labels — keep units explicit.
  • Overfitting a model to one case — test a second case to sanity-check.
  • Copying outputs without recording assumptions — keep the assumptions cell with the result.
