You are appointed lead on Project Helix, ExtensityAI’s flagship closed‑loop AI‑scientist. Over the next 12 days, three forces converge:
- Opportunity: The GeneFront Summit (Day 7) will select a single automation partner for a one‑year collaboration. A live interactive demo is required. Missing the slot likely cedes the partnership for the year.
- Scrutiny: A watchdog group has criticized “unsupervised AI in biomedicine.” Any visible reproducibility lapse or compliance issue will be amplified.
- Funding: Your grant renewal depends on delivering verifiable reproducibility artifacts within 10 business days.
Team & resources: You lead six people across engineering, ML, evaluation, and DevOps. Two are new and require onboarding. Tooling debt exists in evaluation harnesses, data provenance, and rollback safeguards. You cannot optimize for every objective simultaneously.
Your task: Make a sequence of irreversible decisions as the situation evolves. Each choice triggers consequences and a brief reflection.
You must read each screen before choosing. A short reflection period is required before the Next button activates.
