Teaching · Explainers
Short explainers & field notes.
Interactive, worked walkthroughs of the methods, data-analysis techniques, and policy-evaluation frameworks Jade uses day to day — written to be read start to finish, with real data, runnable code, and live-computed results, not just slides. New explainers are added here as they're written; see the full teaching record on the Teaching page.
