Scientific reasoning instruments for dimensional checks, falsification matrices, scale separation and speculative claim stress testing.
INPUT ASSUMPTIONS
How inputs are treated.
Inputs are user-entered assumptions or evidence states. The tools do not verify live systems, datasets, vendors, clinical claims, vulnerabilities or scientific measurements.
OUTPUT POLICY
Artifact boundaries.
Outputs are preliminary orientation artifacts for human review. They are not certification, legal advice, medical advice, engineering sign-off or compliance approval.
OUTPUT ARTIFACTS
Artifacts produced.
