A district-heating leak detector ships with a deep network whose weights and biases are frozen at go-live and can change only if the team retrains. A locker-room climate agent keeps changing setpoints from a live reward after opening night. Which system is locked, which is adaptive, and which is easier to test?

Short Explanation

The leak detector freezes weights at go-live and only changes if the team retrains: locked, easier to test. The climate agent keeps changing setpoints from a live reward: adaptive, harder to test. Do not flip those labels.

Full Explanation

Locked systems freeze weights after the last training night and are easier to test. Adaptive systems keep learning after opening and are harder to test. Reversing the labels, calling both locked, or claiming equal testability misses that comparison.
