- Progress. What have you learned so far?
- Future work. What do you plan to investigate next? What can you do if we give you more compute?
- Scale. How much work can you get done with CHTC resources (CPU hours, number of simulations)?
- Automation and workflows. How did you automate your work? What strategies do you use to create your workflow?
- Feedback. What worked for you? What didn't work for you?
