Theory-Construction Method (amr-methods)

AMR publishes NO empirical data. There are no samples, no measures, no estimation, and no results. "Method" here means the craft of building theory: how you construct constructs, derive relationships, ground mechanisms, and bound the theory. If your project needs data to make its point, it belongs at AMJ / ASQ / SMJ.

When to trigger

• Constructs and propositions exist but the way they were built feels ad hoc
• A reviewer would ask "where did this construct's domain come from?"
• The theory needs a more disciplined construction approach than intuition
• You need to choose among theory-building styles for your puzzle
