RMP.9:10 - Rationale

Research-Method improvement needs a research-specific connection between a Method difficulty, its criticism and the knowledge contributions that depend on it. General Method Engineering already provides reusable distinctions for trial, fit, worth, variants and introduction. Using those contributions at the required scope avoids reconstructing a full Method lifecycle for every correction.

The order matters. Identifying the actual object and trying the supported present answer prevent unnecessary acquisition before its costs arise. Separating evidence sufficiency from acquisition worth then protects the opposite boundary: a justified decision to stop looking does not establish an unsupported claim.
