Inside the kit

8 workflow cards,
in the order you use them.

Each card says when to use it, what to decide, the rules for deciding, which template it fills and an optional prompt. The prompts are optional; every card works on paper.

  1. 01Frame the question
  2. 02Map concepts to search terms
  3. 03Search and log
  4. 04Verify sources
  5. 05Extract evidence
  6. 06Build the literature matrix
  7. 07Write the synthesis
  8. 08Audit every claim

A complete worked example

Worked example: a full run on a practice corpus

The most persuasive-sounding claim, C1, had no support at all. The audit caught it because every sentence had to point to a locator. The final memo is shorter and less impressive, and it is accurate.

The example is fictional: it demonstrates the method and is not evidence of results for any particular person.

  1. Stage 1 — Frame (Card 1)
  2. Stages 2–3 — Discover and log (Cards 2–3)
  3. The practice corpus
  4. Stage 3 — Verify (Card 4)
  5. Stage 4 — Extract (Card 5)
  6. Stage 5 — Literature matrix (Card 6)
  7. Stage 6 — Draft and claim audit (Cards 7–8)
  8. First real run: what to keep for acceptance
