Start with scope
Explain how a product, system, material or service fits a real application, environment or business task.
How we structure the research
- Describe the environment and intended user
- Define the problem and measurable outcome
- Identify components, interfaces and dependencies
- Record constraints and evidence still needed
Choose suitable sources
Use official documentation, original research and relevant technical references. State versions, dates, units and important conditions alongside the claim. Manufacturer documentation can establish what that manufacturer specifies; broader claims may require independent evidence.
Distinguish evidence and illustration
Diagrams on the site may simplify a concept. They are illustrative, not test records, engineering drawings or certification evidence. Examples are not customer case studies unless clearly substantiated.
Keep uncertainty visible
Show assumptions and exceptions. Link to the source that supports a claim, and state when evidence is incomplete or conflicting.
