Phase II preparation was built around identifying which winter scenarios should be repeated with higher priority after the first field runs. That makes the update more than a planning note; it reflects a deliberate attempt to test perception confidence, surface variability, and vehicle behavior more efficiently.
The revised matrix increases repetition in some conditions and narrows measurement focus in others. The result is a second phase designed to generate more useful evidence, not just more mileage.
“Scenario prioritization informed by first-field observations”
The technical reasoning behind winter validation strategy will continue to be expanded through related articles and project notes.
