Preface

This cookbook is designed as a practical field manual:

  • first-timers can run a linear workflow
  • experienced analysts can jump directly to pattern cards

It reuses proven workflows from species-specific prep repositories and translates them into repeatable “if this, do this” guidance.

0.1 Start here

  • New to CU time-series work? Start with Getting Started: Chapter 2
  • Need the right workflow quickly? Use Pattern Cards: Chapter 9
  • Need a runnable walk-through? Use Worked Examples: Chapter 10
  • Releasing outputs? Run Validation Checklists: Chapter 11

0.2 Scope note

This guide covers common and high-value patterns. It does not attempt to codify every edge case; when a case falls outside pattern coverage, escalate to a documented custom workflow.
