Statement

Partial combinations exist -- someone has combined IC frameworks with research methodology, but not in machine-executable form, or has combined them partially without full systematic integration.

Status

Current: Inconclusive

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary

[No specific evidence found of partial combinations. However, the existence of domain-specific prompt engineering work (SRC01, SRC02) suggests the building blocks exist separately.]

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary

[No evidence directly contradicts this hypothesis either.]

Reasoning

H2 is plausible but unconfirmed. The literature shows that IC analytical frameworks and scientific research methodology frameworks each have their own prompt engineering and AI integration efforts, but no evidence was found of cross-pollination. The building blocks exist in separate domains, making partial combination theoretically likely even if not found. H2 remains inconclusive because the search may not have been comprehensive enough to surface partial combinations in less-indexed venues.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H2 is a middle-ground hypothesis between H1 (no combination) and H3 (full combination). If H2 were confirmed, it would partially undermine the novelty claim while preserving the machine-executable aspect as novel.
