Night Market Research Methodology

The discipline that turns a hunch into an accepted result in this repo. An "accepted result" is a change that survived the evidence bar and landed through change control as a rule, a skill module, a config gate, or an ADR. Everything else is either a local working note or a documented retirement. This skill covers the full path: score the idea, experiment behind a default-off flag, meet the evidence bar, land the durable artifact, or retire the idea on the record.

The evidence bar

A claim graduates from hunch to result only when it passes all four tests.

1. One mechanism explains all observations, including negatives. If the hypothesis explains the three failing cases but not why the fourth case passed, it is incomplete. Keep digging until a single mechanism accounts for everything you saw.
