Five more functions. top_groups_by_score, extract_free_text_themes, rank_groups_by_satisfaction, safe_compute_avg, thesis_pipeline. Which one felt most like real research tooling?
thesis_pipeline. Calling it on my actual Qualtrics export and watching the cross-tabs match SPSS output — that moment made all four weeks real.
That's the payoff. Every function you built was a building block for that call. What about error handling?
safe_compute_avg changed how I think about pipelines. You don't just write the happy path — you decide what "safe" means for each error type and encode that decision. Zero is the right default when you can't compute an average.
Graceful degradation is a product decision, not a technical afterthought. Six questions — two from earlier weeks.
Ready. Let's finish strong.
All twenty-five functions from this track are still available. The pipeline depends on every one of them.
