Methodology

Humanities Superpowers treats scholarly judgment—not prose generation—as the scarce resource.

Its method rests on five principles:

1. Research before prose.
2. Unknown is better than fabricated.
3. Evidence outranks confidence.
4. Researcher responsibility remains visible.
5. Failure is a valid workflow outcome.

The framework implements these principles through research objects, skill contracts, explicit epistemic states, quality gates, and rollback.
