Research R0050 — Journalism Disciplines
Run 2026-03-31-02
Query Q002
Hypothesis H3

Statement

The named disciplines either lack formal evidence evaluation methodologies or contribute concepts already fully captured by the nine reference frameworks — no novel contributions exist.

Status

Current: Eliminated

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
None No evidence supports the claim that these disciplines lack formal methodologies

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 Legal standards are clearly formal and contribute novel consequence-calibration
SRC02-E01 Auditing standards are clearly formal with novel dual-axis evaluation
SRC04-E01 FMEA is clearly formal with novel RPN methodology

Reasoning

Every discipline examined has formal, published methodology documents. Multiple disciplines contribute clearly novel concepts. H3 is eliminated on both counts.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H3 is the null hypothesis. Its elimination confirms that both H1 and H2 are more accurate, with the evidence favoring H1.
