[[TODO: draft from verified methods and results only; preserve uncertainty and append claim and evidence markers to every factual or numeric assertion]]
[[TODO: establish context from verified sources, state the gap without exaggeration, and distinguish prior evidence from the present study]]
[[TODO: report what was actually done, including design, materials or participants, outcomes, analysis intent, deviations, ethics status, and provenance]]
[[TODO: report all prespecified, exploratory, negative, null, and adverse findings that are supported by the evidence registries; keep denominators, units, and sample sizes consistent]]
[[TODO: interpret only supported results, compare with verified evidence, preserve alternative explanations, and state concrete limitations]]
[[TODO: insert only the human-approved statement generated from the validated CRediT record]]
[[TODO: insert a verified funding statement or a verified not-applicable statement]]
[[TODO: insert a verified disclosure or a verified not-applicable statement]]
[[TODO: insert only verified approvals, identifiers, consent language, or a verified not-applicable statement]]
[[TODO: state actual access conditions, restrictions, repositories, persistent identifiers, and applicable consent or policy limits]]
[[TODO: follow the current target-journal policy; identify tools and purposes when required; AI is not an author and humans remain accountable]]
[[TODO: render only entries whose metadata and identifiers were verified against the opened source]]
