Corrections and resuming:limits and conditions.

Which changes can return to a verified result, which cannot, and what continuity depends on.

Which corrections qualify

Defined correction rules: On the core two-group path, a guarantee is restored by correcting the exact values of planned samples, or by restoring every row from originals. Other workflows recheck corrections under their own rules.
Restoration must be registered in advance: Restoring from originals requires the source materials and the full-restoration rule to be fixed with the design before the first data arrive.
Numbers still have to pass: A qualifying correction still has to pass every numerical check before a new guarantee is issued.

Outside the rules: Arbitrary value changes, partial restoration, originals added or swapped after the fact, and design or method changes after data arrive are paused or refused.
Approval is not enough: A written reason, a repeated run, or a human approval alone cannot restore a guarantee.

Every dependent step: SciGround rechecks every dependent step rather than optimizing for the minimum, so a recheck can take longer than a single recalculation.
History is kept: Old versions and Records are preserved, not erased. A correction cannot make an earlier result disappear.
Withdrawal: Withdrawal applies to a whole study, not to individual claims.

Your AI calling SciGround: SciGround points each new session to the current version. Whether a given AI follows that guidance is outside the guarantee; see Use with your AI.
Role assignment: Who holds the proposer, approver, and owner roles is your decision. SciGround enforces the roles as assigned.
