SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured, auditable design artifact that anchors research programs, aligning empirical puzzles, theoretical puzzles, and actionable steps from inception to delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical research-design document (3–4 pages) detailing empirical puzzle, theoretical puzzle, high-level research questions, and action list.
  • Multi-layer design selection including historical methods, trend analysis, MROC, knowledge-lifecycle modelling, Abbott design document, and final report-builder pipeline.
  • Orchestration integration to load the relevant design layer for long-running projects and connect to companion references.

Quick Start

Load the design layer that matches your project scope and generate the canonical research-design document.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is a formal research design document and when do I need one for a large project?▼

A formal research design document anchors long-running research initiatives by defining empirical puzzles, theoretical puzzles, and actionable steps. You need one for multi-layer projects requiring structured evidence strategy from inception to delivery.

How do I create a research design document that aligns empirical and theoretical puzzles?▼

Generate a 3–4 page canonical research-design document by defining your empirical puzzle, theoretical puzzle, high-level research questions, and an action list. Load the matching design layer to align companion references through orchestration.

Can I use this research design methodology for trend analysis and historical methods?▼

Yes, the methodology supports multi-layer design selection including historical methods, trend analysis, MROC, knowledge-lifecycle modelling, and report-builder pipelines for diverse long-running research project scopes.

What should be included in a 3-4 page canonical research design document?▼

The canonical research-design document includes the empirical puzzle, theoretical puzzle, high-level research questions, and an action list. It aligns with companion references via the orchestrator to anchor project direction and evidence strategy.

Does research design work for long-running multi-layer research initiatives?▼

Research design is explicitly built for long-running, multi-layer research initiatives. It applies orchestration integration to load relevant design layers and connect companion references throughout the project lifecycle.

Why do I need to define both an empirical puzzle and a theoretical puzzle in project planning?▼

Defining both empirical and theoretical puzzles in project planning ensures your research design maintains a structured, auditable artifact that aligns evidence strategy with actionable steps from inception to final delivery.
