AI Research Commission Record

Decision context

Record the decision, owner, audience, material uncertainty, and whether the work may end without a recommendation.

Claim classes

List the factual, quantitative, causal, comparative, legal, product, company, historical, and recommendation claims the brief may require.

Evidence specification

For each class, name preferred primary and authoritative sources, independent-source needs, prohibited sources, inaccessible-source handling, and source-date requirements.

Scope

Record geography, jurisdiction, language, historical window, search date, evidence cutoff, inclusions, and exclusions.

Data handling

Name the approved product and account, allowed input, connected sources, permissions, retention, human review, logging, exports, access, deletion, and prohibited confidential material.

Deliverable and stopping rule

Specify the report, claim-evidence table, source ledger, conflicts, missing evidence, assumptions, glossary, and domain-review questions.

Discovery stops when material claims meet their stated evidence floor and unresolved gaps are visible.

Sources

Follow the evidence.
