Research R0049 — Landscape Scan
Run 2026-03-31
Query Q001
Hypothesis H2

Statement

No published AI/LLM system prompt exists that implements any form of analytical rigor framework for research.

Status

Eliminated. Multiple partial implementations were found, including published source code for LLM-based structured analytic techniques and academic papers describing prompt engineering for systematic review tasks.

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC03-E01 Major prompt libraries do not contain comprehensive research-methodology prompts (but this only shows gaps in collections, not absence everywhere)

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC04-E01 Roberts published LLM implementations of ACH, Starbursting, and Key Assumptions Check with source code on GitHub
SRC02-E01 Framework Chain-of-Thought is a published prompting approach implementing systematic review framework reasoning
SRC01-E01 PRISMA-trAIce provides a checklist for AI-assisted systematic reviews, indicating active framework development

Reasoning

The evidence clearly shows that partial implementations exist. While none achieve the comprehensive coverage described in H1, the existence of published prompts implementing individual structured analytic techniques and systematic review screening methodologies eliminates the hypothesis that no such work exists.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

Directly contradicted by evidence supporting H1 and H3. The distinction between H1 and H3 is more informative than H2.
