RMP.7:7 - Conformance Checklist

Use these questions to examine a proposed synthesis after recognizing the corpus difficulty:

  • Can the receiver recover the exact question and why an existing answer does or does not suffice?
  • Are reports, underlying studies or material, source interpretations and synthesis findings distinguishable, including consequential dependence?
  • Do eligibility, exclusions, missing material and access limits support the stated corpus scope?
  • Does each consequential transformation have a Method and an interpretation that fit its question?
  • Are contrary findings, uncertainty and transfer limits retained at the findings they affect?
  • Does the answer finish the bounded use or return the specific missing result without disguising an unperformed inquiry as evidence?

Recognition selects this Method. These questions examine the resulting synthesis; recognition alone does not establish its adequacy.
