Recovered opening
## Research and Validation Research matters. Validation matters. Evidence matters. But these words must be used carefully. A research plan is not validation. A methodology document is not proof. An appendix is not impact evidence. A framework is not a tested system. A prototype is not a validated product. An origin story is not general evidence. A user’s appreciation is not scientific validation. A beautiful theory is not a proven result. AI-generated structure is not research evidence. A public website is not outcome proof.

Current reading note

Evidence: Which statements need current source/runtime/professional evidence?
Boundary: What capability, authority, or outcome must not be concluded from the text alone?
Correction: Has later evidence superseded any historical wording?
