Q004 — ACH Matrix¶


Research	R0023 — Counterproductive advice and prompt lifecycle
Run	2026-03-25
Query	Q004

Matrix¶

	H1: Frameworks exist and maturing	H2: No formal frameworks	H3: Partial coverage, gaps remain
SRC01-E01: AWS framework with versioning, testing, drift detection	++	--	+
SRC02-E01: PEPR academic prompt regression methodology	+	-	+
SRC03-E01: Industry tooling without formal methodology	+	+	++

Legend: - ++ Strongly supports - + Supports - -- Strongly contradicts - - Contradicts - N/A Not applicable to this hypothesis

Diagnosticity Analysis¶

Most Diagnostic Evidence¶

Evidence ID	Why Diagnostic
SRC01-E01	AWS framework discriminates between H2 (nothing exists) and H1/H3 (something exists)
SRC03-E01	Tool-centric nature discriminates between H1 (formal frameworks) and H3 (tooling without methodology)

Least Diagnostic Evidence¶

Evidence ID	Why Non-Diagnostic
SRC02-E01	PEPR is consistent with all three hypotheses at different levels of specificity

Outcome¶

Hypothesis supported: H3 — frameworks are emerging but focus narrowly, with significant lifecycle gaps.

Hypotheses eliminated: None fully eliminated.

Hypotheses inconclusive: H1 (partially supported — things exist but are immature) and H2 (partially supported — no comprehensive framework exists, but the claim of "nothing" is too strong).
