Rules​

Rule: Define Scope and Exclusions Early​

Description: State what the analysis covers and what it intentionally omits. Negative example: Expanding scope mid-article without warning. Positive example: "This analysis covers onboarding flows, not retention mechanics."

Rule: Make Assumptions Explicit​

Description: Document assumptions that shape interpretation. Negative example: Hidden assumptions treated as objective facts. Positive example: "Assumes weekly publishing cadence and small-team review cycle."

Rule: Structure Around Analytical Questions​

Description: Organize sections by questions, not chronological notes. Negative example: Dumping research findings in discovery order. Positive example: Sections like "What changed?" and "Why did it change?"

Rule: Use Comparable Evidence Blocks​

Description: Present evidence in consistent units and framing. Negative example: Mixing metrics and anecdotes without alignment. Positive example: Repeated evidence template across sections.

Rule: Surface Uncertainty and Limits​

Description: Explain confidence level and known blind spots. Negative example: Overconfident conclusions from thin evidence. Positive example: "Results are directional due to small sample size."

Rule: End With Decision-Relevant Implications​

Description: Translate analysis into practical choices. Negative example: Ending with data summary only. Positive example: "Given these constraints, prioritize opener rewrites before body expansion."
