Four Stages with Standard Counts
URL: Not captured — experimental run
Extract¶
The standards are organized across four stages: 1. Initiating the SR Process (8 standards) 2. Finding and Assessing Individual Studies (6 standards) 3. Synthesizing the Body of Evidence (4 standards) 4. The Final Report (3 standards)
Verification: 8 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 21 standards.
Relevance to Hypotheses¶
| Hypothesis | Relationship | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Supports | Strong -- confirms four stages and 21 standards with arithmetic verification |
| H2 | Contradicts | Moderate -- confirms four stages, undermining the stage-count-wrong aspect of H2 |
| H3 | Contradicts | Strong -- confirms 21 standards, not a different number |
Context¶
The four stages and their standard counts are documented in the report's front matter, accessible via the National Academies Press. The arithmetic sum (8+6+4+3=21) provides an additional verification that the total is correct.
Notes¶
The report's table of contents shows five chapters of substantive content, but the four stages referenced in the standards framework are the four listed above. The distinction between chapters and stages is important -- the standards framework uses four stages, not five.
