The name reflects two foundational pillars: ### 🖍️ Chalk The universal medium of teaching, formula derivations, and classroom discovery. Chalk embodies transparent pedagogical grounding and empirical proof worked out step-by-step. ### 🔬 Lens The optical instrument of focus, measurement, and scientific clarity. The Lens reflects our non-partisan commitment to statistical auditing, eliminating noise, and focusing on verifiable facts. ## 2.
