R0002/2026-03-13/C009/H2

Research	R0002 — Research Standards for AI-Assisted Writing
Run	2026-03-13
Claim	C009
Hypothesis	H2

Statement

The standards and elements counts are correct but the stage count or publisher attribution is wrong.

Status

Current: Inconclusive

Supporting Evidence

Evidence	Summary
SRC01-E01	Publisher was technically IOM, not NAS directly

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence	Summary
SRC02-E02	Four stages confirmed by primary source
SRC03-E01	Report published under National Academies umbrella

Reasoning

H2 is partially supported on the attribution question -- the report was published by the IOM, not NAS directly. However, the IOM is a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, making "NAS" a colloquially acceptable shorthand. The four-stage count is confirmed by the primary source, so that aspect of H2 is not supported. H2 is inconclusive because the attribution imprecision is real but minor.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

Overlaps with H1 on the numerical counts. H2's contribution is specifically about the publisher attribution, which H1 also acknowledges as technically imprecise. The two hypotheses are more complementary than competing on this specific point.
