Method Audit

Reverse-engineer the data collection and empirical methods across a corpus of papers. Produce a critical comparison table that surfaces methodological blind spots.

Output Path

Per rules/review-artefact-routing.md (auto-loads in research projects (path-scoped to paper-*/ and paper/)):

• Source slug: method-audit
• Write reports to: reviews/_project/method-audit/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>.md inside the project. Path is relative to the research project root, not the Task-Management repo.
• Never at project root (./CRITIC-REPORT.md-style filenames are forbidden — pre-rule layout).
• Idempotency: timestamps include hour+minute (HHMM) to disambiguate same-day runs; never overwrite an earlier run's report.
• Index update: if reviews/INDEX.md exists, write a one-line entry under "Latest per source" pointing at the new file. Otherwise review-recap will rebuild the index next time it runs.
• Infrastructure repos (Task-Management, atlas-workspace, etc.): this section does not apply — the path-scoped rule won't load there.
