RMP.1:4.6 - Frascati Criteria Mutated for This Boundary

The OECD Frascati criteria are a valuable cross-sector comparator for R&D. RMP.1 adapts them for holder-neutral, criticism-ready research practice; it does not copy a statistical classification or institutional gate.

Frascati criterionRMP.1 use
novelAdapt: unresolved relative to a qualified current frame and named use. New-to-the-performer information is insufficient; global firstness, patent novelty, and publication priority are unnecessary.
creativeAdapt: a non-routine question, design, interpretation, synthesis, or criticism choice is required. Prestige originality and artistic creation are not required; routine protocol execution does not pass.
uncertainAdopt with precision: the answer or defensible route is not predetermined. Schedule uncertainty, ordinary process variance, or execution risk without an unresolved knowledge claim is insufficient.
systematicAdopt: preserve an inspectable question-to-return chain of sources, premises, intended and performed moves, evidence, deviations, limits, and stops. Repetition or checklist compliance alone is insufficient.
transferable and/or reproducibleAdapt: return a communicable criticism-ready contribution with bounded applicability and enough trace for another critic to inspect or reuse the reasoning. Do not require universal generalization, recurrence, or new-data replication from every historical, qualitative, field, citizen, or other inquiry.
