+
+A minimal end-to-end run to lock the validation protocol before investing in
+feature engineering. Establishes the reference score every later experiment is
+compared against.
+
+# Setup
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Algorithm | Logistic regression (L2, `C=1.0`) |
+| Features | 11 raw numeric columns, standardized |
+| Validation | 5-fold stratified cross-validation, seed 42 |
+| Metric | ROC AUC |
+
+# Result
+
+| Split | ROC AUC |
+| --- | --- |
+| CV mean | 0.782 |
+| CV std | 0.006 |
+
+# Notes
+
+An early version of this experiment scored a suspiciously high 0.991; that run
+is written up in [target leakage via row id](/lessons/target_leakage_via_row_id.md).
+Superseded as current best by [gradient boosting v2](/experiments/gradient_boosting_v2.md).

+Builds on the baseline by adding ratio and count-encoding features, trained with
+gradient-boosted decision trees. Applies the leakage fix from the baseline
+post-mortem.
+
+# Setup
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Algorithm | Gradient-boosted trees (400 rounds, depth 6, lr 0.03) |

+| Validation | 5-fold stratified cross-validation, seed 42 |
+| Metric | ROC AUC |

+
+| Split | ROC AUC |
+| --- | --- |

+# Notes

+Explicitly drops `row_id` per [target leakage via row id](/lessons/target_leakage_via_row_id.md).
+The tuned artifact exported from this experiment is [gbdt tuned](/models/gbdt_tuned.md).

+
+# Symptom
+
+An early version of [baseline logistic regression](/experiments/baseline_logistic_regression.md)
+scored 0.991 ROC AUC in cross-validation — far above anything the available
+features plausibly support.
+
+# Cause
+
+The exported training table was sorted by label before a monotonic `row_id` was
+assigned, so `row_id` was almost perfectly rank-correlated with the target. The
+model learned the identifier, not the signal.
+
+# Fix
+
+Drop `row_id` (and any other index-like column) before training, and shuffle
+rows at export time. Applied in [gradient boosting v2](/experiments/gradient_boosting_v2.md).
+
+# Takeaway
+
+Treat any single feature that produces a near-perfect score as a leak until
+proven otherwise; audit identifier and timestamp columns first.
