Methodology
Not startedThis page states the research design for the thesis as a whole. Per-project method detail lives with each project; per-run detail lives with each experiment. If they disagree, this page is the one that is wrong.

Study structure
Validity
Each threat below is named, and the design decision that addresses it is named with it. A threat with no mitigation column is an admitted limitation, and belongs in limitations rather than here.
| Threat type | Specific threat | Mitigation |

Measurement
State what is measured, in what units, with what instrument, and at what precision. A quantity whose uncertainty is not stated is not a measurement.

Reproducibility
Every reported number must be reproducible from a recorded experiment.
- Every run has an
EXP-record with its full configuration. - Every dataset has a
DATA-record with provenance and a fixed version. - Every analysis is a registered
CODE-artifact pinned to a commit. - Every figure and table is generated, never hand-drawn, and registered.
See reproduction.
Ethics and data handling
Not yet written. Record the approval reference here if one is required, and the handling rule for any data that is not freely redistributable.
