Decision history
What made you believe that?
Keep the reasons behind a research decision alongside what you learned afterward.
Capture the view before hindsight arrives.
Record the source material, premises and open questions behind the decision. Include why you acted—or why you chose to keep researching. The uncertainty at the time is part of the record.
Compare reasoning as well as results.
Later outcomes can make an earlier choice feel more obvious than it was. Revisit what was actually known, then identify which evidence changed. A good result does not settle every question about the reasoning that led to it.
Leave the next review a starting point.
Keep the updated view with the new evidence and a clear next question. The aim is not a perfect prediction. It is a research process you can examine, question and improve over time.
