The science problems we're fundamentally trying to get at:

• How do the starspots evolve? What is the rate of differential rotation?
• Are there active latitudes/bands?
• Can the in-transit spots be the source of the out-of-transit modulations?

The ways to get starspot properties from our data:

1. Light curve inversion
2. Direct forward modeling
3. Fit Gaussians to the starspot "bumps", do math to find longitude (and latitude) they translate to

Doing this most simple thing will be helpful for:

• Use as seeds for the first two ways
• Use as quick-and-dirty results to push science forward
