Checks on this template

  • Output contracts · Every step produced the artifact it declared, in the declared form
    Required of every template.
  • Execution reliability · Analysis code ran and wrote a parseable, non-empty result
    Required of every template.
  • Numbers · Every number in tables and text matches the output of executed code
    Not applicable. This method produces no computed numbers to match.
  • Citations · Every reference resolves to an existing publication via OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar or Crossref
    Proposed. Proposed for the floor; runs log it but may not block on it.
  • Verbatim passages · Every claim about a source points to a passage found word for word in that source
