Selective Capture and Progressive Filtering

Formulate a bounded, live research question with explicit relevance and exclusion criteria.

Diagram a note lifecycle with explicit criteria for discard, deferral, refinement, durable promotion, and later removal.

Capture a sourced idea with its provenance, precise locator, and a brief statement of its possible relevance to the research question.

Triage a batch of captures into discard, defer, or refine by assessing relevance, novelty, evidentiary value, and potential use.

Calibrate a sustainable processing cadence by comparing capture volume with measured refinement capacity.
