  1. 01Core thesisThe central argument in a clear, readable form.
  2. 02Evidence boundariesConfirmed facts separated from inference and open questions.
  3. 03Continuing contextMaterial developments and corrections preserved beyond publication day.

Research standard

Truth over hype. Primary sources first.

Confirmed facts remain distinct from interpretation. Speculation is labeled. Material companies, integrations, jurisdictions and limitations are preserved when they prove different parts of the thesis.
