SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps teams document and apply a structured, evidence-based research process for Pact 5, KDA-CE, and blockchain decisions, reducing ambiguity and ensuring traceable conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source hierarchy: Establishes a defined order for source credibility, from official docs to on-chain evidence.
  • Evidence grading: Classifies findings as Empirical, Documentary, Inferential, or Anecdotal with confidence levels.
  • Citation and traceability: Generates standardized citations for all conclusions to support audits and ADRs.
  • Use Case: When evaluating a blockchain design choice, follow the framework to collect sources, grade evidence, and document decisions with clear citations.

Quick Start

Structure a research question about Pact/KDA decisions and generate a documented evidence trail with source citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure blockchain research evidence for Pact 5 architecture decisions?

Structure blockchain research evidence by applying a defined source hierarchy and grading findings as Empirical, Documentary, Inferential, or Anecdotal with documented confidence levels for Pact 5 architecture decisions.

What is the best way to document traceable conclusions for KDA-CE feature viability?

The best way to document traceable conclusions for KDA-CE feature viability is generating standardized citations and an explicit evidence trail from official docs to on-chain data using a structured research methodology.

How do I grade source credibility when evaluating KDA blockchain policy changes?

Grade source credibility by establishing a defined hierarchy from official docs to on-chain evidence, then classify findings using an evidence grading schema with explicit confidence levels for KDA blockchain policy changes.

Does this research methodology support generating Architecture Decision Records?

Yes, this research methodology supports generating Architecture Decision Records by organizing hierarchical research with source citations and documented confidence levels to support audits and blockchain design choices.

Can I use this structured methodology for both Pact 5 and KDA-CE projects?

Yes, you can use this structured methodology for both Pact 5 and KDA-CE projects to document evidence-based research processes, reducing ambiguity and ensuring traceable conclusions for blockchain decisions.

When do I need an explicit frontmatter protocol for blockchain research documentation?

You need an explicit frontmatter protocol for blockchain research documentation when collecting sources, grading evidence, and documenting decisions with clear citations to ensure traceable conclusions for audits and ADRs.
