Notes

The two domains appeared completely siloed in search results. The intelligence analysis results reference Heuer, Pherson, CIA methodology, and decision-making under uncertainty. The scientific methodology results reference Cochrane, PRISMA, evidence synthesis automation. No results contained both vocabularies in a single publication proposing integration.
