Create or update a canonical note in the Experiments folder with sections for goal, hypothesis, code entrypoint, dataset, metrics, status, findings, and next step. Prefer updating an existing experiment note over creating a sibling note for the same experiment line.

A result note should exist only when the outcome is stable enough to reference later. Raw logs and metric dumps stay in Daily notes until interpreted, then durable findings are promoted into the Results folder with evidence and a keep, iterate, or discard decision.

Update the existing canonical experiment note rather than creating a parallel page for the same experiment line. Link experiments and results directly to each other, and only link to hub, plan, or daily notes when it improves the main working surface.

Minimum sections are goal or hypothesis, code or config entrypoint, dataset and split, metrics, status (planned, running, done, failed), findings, and next step. Result notes additionally record the linked experiment, key numbers, evidence, interpretation, and decision.

Yes, experiment notes act as the bridge between Papers and Results folders. Paper-derived hypotheses and baselines land in experiment notes, stable findings are promoted to Results, and claim-worthy results update the Writing folder.
