SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps teams document and apply a structured, evidence-based research process for Pact 5, KDA-CE, and blockchain decisions, reducing ambiguity and ensuring traceable conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source hierarchy: Establishes a defined order for source credibility, from official docs to on-chain evidence.
  • Evidence grading: Classifies findings as Empirical, Documentary, Inferential, or Anecdotal with confidence levels.
  • Citation and traceability: Generates standardized citations for all conclusions to support audits and ADRs.
  • Use Case: When evaluating a blockchain design choice, follow the framework to collect sources, grade evidence, and document decisions with clear citations.

Quick Start

Structure a research question about Pact/KDA decisions and generate a documented evidence trail with source citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure blockchain research evidence for Pact 5 architecture decisions?▼

Structure blockchain research evidence by applying a defined source hierarchy and grading findings as Empirical, Documentary, Inferential, or Anecdotal with documented confidence levels for Pact 5 architecture decisions.

What is the best way to document traceable conclusions for KDA-CE feature viability?▼

The best way to document traceable conclusions for KDA-CE feature viability is generating standardized citations and an explicit evidence trail from official docs to on-chain data using a structured research methodology.

How do I grade source credibility when evaluating KDA blockchain policy changes?▼

Grade source credibility by establishing a defined hierarchy from official docs to on-chain evidence, then classify findings using an evidence grading schema with explicit confidence levels for KDA blockchain policy changes.

Does this research methodology support generating Architecture Decision Records?▼

Yes, this research methodology supports generating Architecture Decision Records by organizing hierarchical research with source citations and documented confidence levels to support audits and blockchain design choices.

Can I use this structured methodology for both Pact 5 and KDA-CE projects?▼

Yes, you can use this structured methodology for both Pact 5 and KDA-CE projects to document evidence-based research processes, reducing ambiguity and ensuring traceable conclusions for blockchain decisions.

When do I need an explicit frontmatter protocol for blockchain research documentation?▼

You need an explicit frontmatter protocol for blockchain research documentation when collecting sources, grading evidence, and documenting decisions with clear citations to ensure traceable conclusions for audits and ADRs.
