**Title:** Privacy-Preserving Aggregate Release for a Public Health Dataset
**Author:** Jane Student — CSCI 49395

## 1. Introduction
State the problem, why it matters, and your specific research question. One paragraph.

## 2. Related Work
2–4 sources with what each did and how yours differs. Cite primary sources.

## 3. Method
Dataset(s) with license and access date. Pipeline (raw → processed → results). The exact
privacy mechanism (e.g. k-anonymity generalization, or ε-differential-privacy with the noise
mechanism and ε stated). Environment + seed for reproducibility.

## 4. Results
Report estimates with uncertainty (CIs / dispersion), not point values alone. Every figure
has a caption defining axes, units, and n. Compare against a baseline under one identical
protocol.

## 5. Privacy Analysis
Threat model (who is the adversary, what auxiliary data do they hold). The mitigation you
applied and its measured effect on both privacy (e.g. k, or ε) and utility. Residual risk.

## 6. Limitations
Name specific threats with direction and magnitude. What would change your conclusion.

## 7. Conclusion
What you found, stated no more strongly than the evidence supports, and next steps.
