Atlas Methods

What This Section Is For

Methods pages define how agents and humans should build, review, and maintain the Atlas without turning it into a project dump.

Core Rules

• Reveal detail progressively from topic to claim to direction to hypothesis to data and source evidence.
• Preserve provenance and caveats on every reusable statement.
• Update the smallest page that captures the new knowledge.
• Integrate new projects by updating synthesis, claims, conflicts, opportunities, or data gaps only where the project changes the Atlas.
• Add review briefs to pages where human feedback should change claim strength, caveats, reviewer routing, or next analyses.
• Run lint and inventory before proposing changes.
