FAQPage Schema
What is theory implementation fidelity and why does it matter for project audits?

Theory implementation fidelity ensures that theoretical methodologies are genuinely operationalized as mechanisms, not just named. Auditing this fidelity verifies that project claims are supported by actual source grounding and structural mapping.

How do I audit if my project theories are genuinely operationalized?

Run a theory mapping audit to check the fidelity of theory to mechanism mapping. This process grades whether load-bearing theories are actively implemented or merely superficially referenced within the project.

Does this methodology assessment require source grounding for all project theories?

Yes, source grounding is explicitly required for load-bearing theories. The fidelity check validates that theoretical claims map directly to implemented mechanisms rather than existing as unsubstantiated labels.

Can I use this fidelity check alongside other framework health assessments?

Yes, this audit runs alongside framework health assessments to ensure project theories are implemented as claimed. It provides a detailed grading system specifically targeting the mapping of theories to mechanisms.

What limitations exist when checking the mapping of theories to mechanisms?

This methodology assessment is specifically scoped to projects within the Mycelium framework. It focuses strictly on grading the theory to mechanism mapping and requires explicit source grounding for load-bearing theories to function properly.
