Validation Roadmap

Phase 1

Internal adversarial review.

Purpose: Stress the theory against its strongest competing explanations before external replication.

Phase 2

Different-model replication.

Purpose: Test whether the current results survive model-family changes and prompt variation.

Phase 3

Human analyst replication.

Purpose: Test whether the findings survive beyond internal same-model execution.

Phase 4

Domain expert challenge.

Purpose: Test whether external experts regard the claims as coherent, distinctive, or unnecessary.

Phase 5

Publication readiness review.

Purpose: Decide whether any claims are strong enough to communicate beyond the internal research program.
