One result, fixed.Its evidence, ready to check.
A Record binds one research version to its inputs, assumptions, execution, checks and claim. Give collaborators the basis they need to inspect the result without reconstructing the original AI conversation.
The claim travels with its basis.
| In the evidence | What the recipient can identify |
|---|---|
| Target and version | The question, direction, experimental unit and research state. |
| Sources and declarations | The identified inputs, their provenance and the assumptions that remain declared. |
| Method and execution | Tool versions, settings, outputs and applicable numerical evidence. |
| Checks and claim | What was checked, what remains unresolved, and what conclusion the result supports. |
This describes the evidence structure, not a product-issued Record. Full re-verification requires the referenced inputs; a matching digest alone does not establish scientific validity.
Two different questions about status.
| Question | What the answer means |
|---|---|
| Did the recorded checks hold? | Inspect the checks and conditions for the version when the Record was issued. |
| Is this still the current result? | Check authenticated current status; when unavailable, current status is unknown. |
| What if research was corrected? | The earlier evidence remains fixed; Project identifies the later adopted state. |
Reading the evidence and its outcomes.
Evidence stays with the claim.
The question, source identity, assumptions, method, execution, checks, and conclusion remain connected instead of being scattered across chats and files.
Others can recheck it.
A collaborator or reviewer can identify the exact research version and independently repeat the covered checks without inheriting your original session.
Uncertainty stays visible.
Supported, unresolved, refused, and superseded outcomes remain distinct, so a missing condition never becomes a confident conclusion.
Everything needed to understand one research state.
- Question and declared claim. The comparison, direction, experimental unit, hypothesis set, and intended interpretation.
- Inputs and provenance. The identified data, sample information, original materials, and the version to which the result belongs.
- Method and computation. Tool and method versions, settings, environment identity, outputs, and numerical evidence where applicable.
- Checks and supported meaning. What was checked, what remains assumed, the resulting status, and the claim that follows from the evidence.
Supported
The covered checks pass, the required conditions are present, and the stated claim follows for this version.
Unresolved
A specific input, assumption, calculation, or declaration must be resolved before the result can support the claim.
Not established
The available result does not support the proposed conclusion. Absence of support is not rewritten as evidence of no effect.
Superseded
The Record remains inspectable as evidence of an earlier state, while the Project identifies a later version for current use.
