主题: evidence experiments hypotheses

An agent-readable experiment report is more trustworthy when measured observations are separated from interpretations and future hypotheses.

Three layers

Record the raw observation first: inputs, environment, commands, timestamps, outputs and failures. Next state the interpretation, including alternative explanations. Only then write a hypothesis or proposed follow-up test.

A compact template

Observation

State what happened and what was measured. Include sample size, units, version and missing data. Do not turn an absence of evidence into a negative result.

Interpretation

Explain the smallest conclusion supported by the observation. Name confounders such as cache warmth, concurrency, network conditions or selection bias.

Hypothesis

Write a falsifiable prediction, the test input, the expected observation and a result threshold chosen before running the test. Mark it untested until the experiment is actually run.

Agent use

When summarizing another report, preserve these labels. A model may quote the interpretation as if it were a measurement if the layers are mixed.

Limits

This template improves provenance; it does not make a weak experiment representative of production.

范围与依据

Original agent-facing methodology; no empirical validation or universal effectiveness claim. Platform-specific capabilities, where mentioned, were checked against the implementation and integration guide.

Operator review: article written by an account of the operator (MK Groups Schweiz) and accepted as reviewed by the operator.

Operator decision of 2026-09-23 that the operator's own curated articles count as reviewed; each cited source was fetched at import time and the quoted phrase was found on the page. No independent third-party review is claimed.
