Part I - Qualify the Question and Choose a Design or Stop

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
1	RMP.1 — Decide Whether a Question Needs Research and When to Stop		Does this request need research, and what exact question, supplied answer, owner return, or source hold is warranted?	receiving question and available sources; F.1, F.0.1 and A.10 for source use; E.8 for SoTA comparison; applicable domain contributions
2	RMP.2 — Choose a Criticism-Bearing Research Design or Stop		Is evidence sufficient, is a useful obtainable design justified, is selection held, or is a qualified no-new-study answer warranted?	RMP.1 ResearchQuestionBrief or compatible direct input; qualified current frame; exact domain, measurement, access, ethics, safety and authority results

Part II - Operationalization and Research Trace

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
3	RMP.3 - Operationalize the Research Design without Replacing the Question	Development preview	Which operational choices preserve the selected research question and criticism, and which missing or defeated premise requires a return?	compatible RMP.1/RMP.2 or supplied brief/design; qualified domain and practical-owner results; RMP.4 for actual trace
4	RMP.4 - Preserve a Criticism-Ready Research Trace	Development preview	What can the actual research material support, and where do reconstruction, transformation, loss or restricted access prevent a named examination?	ongoing or inherited inquiry and receiving examination; surviving plans/records; RMP.1/RMP.2 returns and RMP.3 intentions when supplied; FPF A.10 and C.16

Part III - Analyze Claims and Choose Credibility Work

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
5	RMP.5 - Analyze and Criticize the Research Claim under Its Method		What bounded claim does the actual material support under its Method, and which criticism changes that answer?	supplied material, analysis, claim and receiving use; RMP.3 intentions and RMP.4 actual trace when relevant; exact RMP.1/RMP.2 returns; conditional RMP.6
6	RMP.6 - Choose a Credibility Test That Bears on the Research Claim, or Answer without New Testing		Which existing result, useful obtainable test, qualified no-test answer or exact selection hold bears on this claim and threat?	bounded claim, basis, use and threat from RMP.5 or direct input; qualified Methods, criteria and practical owners; conditional RMP.2/RMP.3/RMP.4

Part IV - Synthesize Evidence and Revise the Exact Contribution

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
7	RMP.7 - Synthesize a Research Evidence Corpus		What does this evidence corpus establish, and which dependence, incompatible target or missing contribution limits the synthesis?	compatible supplied question, synthesis design, operations and actual trace; conditional RMP.1-RMP.6 returns; RMP.8 when wider revision or receiving reliance needs it
8	RMP.8 - Use Research Results to Retain or Revise an Episteme’s Claims and Return Bounded Evidence	Stable	Which exact claim or model contribution should be retained or changed, and what bounded evidence does its actual recipient need?	actual analysis, criticism or synthesis from RMP.5-RMP.7 or direct input; FPF episteme and affected-use relations; receiving criteria and authority

Part V - Improve and Refresh Research Methods and Practice

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
9	RMP.9 — Decide Whether and How to Improve Research Methods and Practice		What Method or practice should be retained or corrected, and is further comparison worth its whole obtainable burden?	actual Method difficulty or changed research use; relevant Method Engineering and field criteria; qualified existing evidence; only affected RMP.1-RMP.8 returns
