Validation: Document benchmark point and bench-vs-simulation comparison protocol

[luizvilla]

Context

Source: session recap email (2026-02-19)

Problem

A key benchmark measurement point exists in email notes, but there is no formal repository protocol to reproduce and compare bench data against simulation and theory.

Expected Outcome

A documented benchmark protocol captures the test point, offsets, and comparison method so future regressions use consistent references.

Scope

In:

• Document benchmark operating point and measured values.
• Define method for bench vs simulation vs theory comparison.
• Define handling of DC offset terms during interpretation.
  Out:
• New simulation model development.
• Instrument driver implementation details.

Acceptance Criteria

• Protocol document includes exact operating point (60V, 100kHz, 97deg).
• Recorded measured values and offset handling are explicitly documented.
• Comparison procedure can be rerun by another team member.

Evidence / Notes

• Email excerpt: "Mesure à la main d'un point ... 60V, 100kHz, 97° ... IDC=43mA ... offset 2mA ... Il eff AC=1.63A"
