Hypothesis Pipeline Rubric

Quality score: 70/100  ·  Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods
Evaluate, propose, or critique a scientific hypothesis or testable claim using the lab's type-aware gating pipeline. Use when a chat message or scheduled job produces a directional, mechanistic, comparative, methodological, or synthesis claim that should be checked for sign coherence, mechanism articulation, falsifiability, and novelty relative to prior work. Also use when explaining why a hypothesis was blocked or borderline, or when coaching a new claim to meet the pipeline bar before submission to the formal pass.
