Example Output: Research Science Experiment Launch Plan
Inputs used
- Project context: a literature map for retrieval-augmented agents in enterprise support
- Target audience: scientists, research PMs, labs, technical founders
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: paper database, notebook, citation manager, experiment tracker
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
hypothesis, audience, variants, instrumentation, and decision rule
Hypothesis
Hypothesis: improving how the workflow handles paper abstracts will reduce citation drift. Ship two variants at most, instrument the primary metric before launch, and decide in advance what evidence stops the test.
Target segment
Use experiment logs as evidence, apply the constraint "do not overclaim", and explicitly note how the plan reduces p-hacking. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Variants
Hypothesis: improving how the workflow handles datasets will reduce missing negative results. Ship two variants at most, instrument the primary metric before launch, and decide in advance what evidence stops the test.
Instrumentation
Hypothesis: improving how the workflow handles lab notes will reduce unsupported generalization. Ship two variants at most, instrument the primary metric before launch, and decide in advance what evidence stops the test.
Risks
Treat citation drift as a launch blocker until there is a control that can be verified. The minimum control is: do not overclaim, plus reviewer sign-off for ambiguous outputs.
Decision rule
Hypothesis: improving how the workflow handles paper abstracts will reduce p-hacking. Ship two variants at most, instrument the primary metric before launch, and decide in advance what evidence stops the test.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on paper abstracts and experiment logs. Treat citation drift as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable research brief, hypothesis table, and experiment plan with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to AI-assisted literature review, hypothesis generation, experiment planning, and technical communication.
- It includes the required sections: Hypothesis, Target segment, Variants, Instrumentation, Risks, Decision rule.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: citation drift.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
