Method

A claim should know where it comes from and where it ends.

We treat research as a declared route: question, hypothesis, specification, contrast, review and publication.

Question

What problem is being addressed, and why does it matter?

Hypothesis

What could be false, revised or narrowed through evidence?

Specification

What is the declared object, scope and boundary of the proposed approach?

Contrast

What methods and counterparts could challenge the proposition?

Publication

What can be shared without overstating what has been established?

A question, a hypothesis, and the means to prove it wrong.
Method is a commitment to the possibility of being wrong.
