An evidence-led library

Show the workings.

  1. Trace the source.

    Guides keep their references, scope, version and the date of the check.

  2. Keep judgement visible.

    Observation, possible explanation and confirmed finding each have their own job.

  3. Improve with use.

    Source checks, professional review and field trials are separate stages, and each guide says where it stands.
