Evidence Policy And Claim Register
Why This MattersRead the earlier reference in its original context, with its historical statements and limits preserved.
Attach evidence to the particular claim it supports. Distinguish philosophical commitments, accounting identities, conditional methods, and empirical findings.
Evidence is attached to a claim at the level actually supported. The doctrine’s philosophical commitments can be defended with reasons, but are not relabeled as scientific findings. Accounting identities establish arithmetic relations under definitions; empirical evidence is required for behavioral and outcome claims.
| Claim type | How it is treated |
|---|---|
| Value commitment | State the value, its rationale and how conflicts are handled. No claim of scientific proof. |
| Definition / identity | State conventions, units and boundaries; check consistency and arithmetic. |
| Research-supported component | Identify design, population, measured outcome and limits on transfer. |
| Conditional design rule | State when it applies, alternatives, exceptions and observable checks. |
| Untested package claim | Mark open. Assess against a suitable comparator before claiming benefit. |
Claims This Build Does Not Make
- The entire synthesis has been validated or shown superior to ordinary financial education.
- There is a necessary psychological-to-financial ladder or a required borrowing stage.
- Regulation practices cause higher income or prevent financial failure.
- A reserve floor, concentration value or model label certifies safety.
- A single score can establish someone’s character, dignity or freedom.
The detailed evidence CSV preserves source access limits. For habit formation, this edition retains individual variation and avoids a universal completion deadline. For planning and regulation, the cited outcomes remain bounded to the reviewed evidence. [S06-S08]
Keep an evidence-gap log and a correction history. A missing source remains missing. When later evidence conflicts with a rule, narrow or revise the rule rather than protecting the public brand.
