# PROJECT_MAP — UQO Working Paper No. 28 (distributed MLE)

Repository root: ~/Desktop/Recherche-UQO (index README.md, form standard HARMONISATION.md). This paper: finance/distributed-mle-synchronization/ (series convention: <domain>/<slug>/, metadata macro \WPnumber{28}, spbgit remote gitsrv:srv/git/wp28_uqo.git to be created at delivery).

Conventions observed (2026-10-28):

Template _modele-working-paper/ (12pt letterpaper article, mathptmx, natbib authoryear + aer style, titlepage.tex copied verbatim, macros \WPnumber … \WPaddress, \WPdate = "Month YYYY", \WPversion = number only). Theoretical papers (WP 19, 24, 25) add amsthm environments and mathtools; appendices live in paper/appendices/.
Highest existing number: 27 (finance/invisible-hand-of-machines). No \WPnumber{28} exists anywhere in the series (see SOURCE_PROVENANCE.md for the informal "WP 28" label on the FIRC No. 0001 database paper).
Per-paper layout: README.md, .gitignore, requirements.txt, paper/, src/, scripts/ or experiments/, data/, results/, figures/, docs/; paper/main.pdf committed; raw data not committed.
