EPIDEMIOLOGIST BRIEFING (please try to look calm):
Objective: Model 11 outbreak & containment scenarios using \( y = a \cdot b^x \), where \( a \) is the starting value and \( b \) is the daily growth or decay factor.
Live Outbreak Simulator: Type your \( a \) and \( b \) values into the control panel. A population of little dots will immediately spread (or recover from) infection on screen, animated live from Day 0 — change a number and the whole simulation replays instantly.
Target Overlay: A faint dashed curve and a \( \small\text{🎯} \) marker on the mini-graph show the actual outbreak the field report describes. Tune your numbers until your solid curve and dot swarm line up with it.
Containment Meter: You start at 100% Containment. Deploying a matching model restores containment (+15%). A mismatched model drains containment based on how far off you were.
Session Memory: This lab holds data only in active memory. Reloading the page resets the outbreak log completely.

CONTAINMENT FAILURE
Modeling error variance depleted your containment meter to zero.
🎙️ Field Report: "The dots have unionized. Negotiations with the outbreak are ongoing."

OUTBREAK CONTAINED
Exponential Modeling Mastery Awarded
Outstanding epidemiological modeling! You successfully matched exponential growth and decay curves \( y = a \cdot b^x \) across every outbreak and containment scenario.
🎙️ Field Report: "The dots are throwing a tiny, statistically-significant party. Somewhere, a virus is filing paperwork."
