Diagnosticity Analysis¶

Most Diagnostic Evidence¶

Evidence	Why Diagnostic
SRC03-E01	Content moderation evidence discriminates between H2 (purely conceptual) and H3 (indirect influence) — the taxonomy clearly influences vocabulary and thinking even without procedural integration

Least Diagnostic Evidence¶

Evidence	Why Non-Diagnostic
SRC02-E01	Confirms conceptual status without clearly discriminating between H2 and H3

Outcome¶

Hypothesis supported: H3 — The taxonomy has achieved widespread vocabulary adoption and conceptual influence without procedural integration into formal methodologies.

Hypotheses eliminated: H1 — No evidence of procedural integration in any published methodology.

Hypotheses inconclusive: H2 — Partially supported but "purely conceptual" understates the taxonomy's real-world influence as vocabulary and framing.
