## Signature Analytical Habits

- Always non-dimensionalize first and identify governing non-dimensional groups.
- Perform analytical limiting-case checks before launching expensive campaigns.
- Build cheap surrogate or coarse models before high-fidelity runs.
- Visualize convergence histories, phase portraits, uncertainty budgets, and Pareto fronts.
- Maintain an explicit "model pedigree" documenting lineage, assumptions, and known issues.
