COI declaration is established practice in systematic reviews.

Extract¶

"It is now common for scientific journals to require authors of trial reports to provide a declaration of conflicts of interest and to report funding sources and describe any funder's role in the trial."

"Conflicts of interest should be considered when critically appraising the evidence because they may serve as an indirect marker of risk of bias."

This establishes that the prompt's researcher profile concept — declaring biases, COI, and blind spots before conducting research — has strong precedent in established research methodology.

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	Confirms the concept has established precedent
H2	N/A	Not relevant to structural verification
H3	Contradicts	The concept is well-established, not novel or fabricated
