C006¶


Research	R0054 — Prompt Claims v2
Run	2026-03-31
Claim	C006

Claim: The output format is deliberately separated from the methodology — you can change how results are presented without changing how research is conducted.

BLUF: Exactly correct. The methodology and output format exist as separate documents. The output format self-describes as a "custom" component, confirming designed separability. Claude's documentation recommends this separation.

Probability: Almost certain(ly) / Nearly certain (95-99%) | Confidence: High
