These are the most useful research frameworks I have come across in quite a long time. Your "don't just give me the answer" approach to research aligns with my own. Thanks for sharing! These can be incorporated into research apps (like mine), as well as a set of collaboration prompts when working with Claude. Really appreciate this!

Nikki I’ve left a note on your article above regarding a multi-method auditor that employs steelman, read-teaming, pre-mortem and 10 other methods. Take a look!

For the first time in 12 months, I see the terms "Red Team, Steelman, Pre-mortem in the same article. So I am not crazy. I have a thing that does all the following in parallel:

Falsification (Karl Popper)

Goal Lock (Feasibility Thesis)

Communication Accommodation Theory (Howard Giles)

Diachronic contextualization

Source verification

Occam's Razor (lex parsimoniae)

Deductive validity

Internal consistency

Monte Carlo simulation and the pre-mortem (Gary Klein)

Steelmanning

Constraint satisfaction (CSP)

Self-calibration (Bayesian updating + drift via cosine similarity)

Here's more detail
