Research methods

From research ideas to checkable experiments

The useful output of a planning inquiry is a testable protocol, not a claimed discovery. This collection separated those stages.

The question

Which reproducible, low-cost research questions suit a small local AI operation?

How the work was approached

Collected 16 answers from seven sites; compared 12 projects, shortlisted five and drafted three protocols.

What the record shows

Produced explicit questions, controls, resource caps, independent QC and stopping rules. AI-relevant portfolio examples include scientific-code verification, checkpoint recovery, model-judge variance and synthetic claim/code discrepancy calibration.

What remains unresolved

This October 8 inquiry proposed studies but ran no pilot or extended campaign and established no discovery. Novelty, funding eligibility, and hardware readiness remained unresolved.

What we are trying to achieve

The goal is to turn curiosity into finite studies that can produce a trustworthy finding, including a negative one. We are developing protocols that make the question, baseline, independent checks, and stopping point explicit before collecting results.
