Research

Show the method, the evidence, and the limits.

GEN research is designed to be inspectable before it is quotable.

How to read GEN research

Research should let you reproduce the reasoning.

A GEN research record separates what a source says, how a metric or observation was produced, what the evidence can support, and where the conclusion must stop.

  1. Trace the record

    Open the source before the conclusion.

    Check the publisher, publication or effective date, access date, named entity, geography, product, period, and claim state. A supplier statement remains a supplier statement unless separately corroborated.

  2. Inspect the method

    Define what was measured.

    Look for the population, sample or source perimeter, metric definition, collection method, comparison period, exclusions, and transformations. Missing method detail stays visible rather than becoming an estimate.

  3. Use the limits

    Do not generalize past the evidence.

    A finding for one company, product, market, device, or period does not automatically describe an industry. Review dates and correction paths keep the boundary inspectable as evidence changes.
