Brali Research Agenda · baseline 2026-08-20
Keep the unknowns visible.
Brali started this agenda with 24 deliberate ontology gaps. A gap stays visible until evidence is reviewed, practical guidance is updated, and an explicit resolution can be verified.
22
Still require research, evidence review, protocol work, or an explicit resolution.
2
Passed the full decision-to-trusted-protocol closure contract.
24
Baseline gaps with at least one machine-runnable research query.
Pipeline: open question → discovery query → research candidate → Evidence Decision → trusted protocol → explicit resolution → Evidence Trends. Candidate metadata is discovery only; it never counts as reviewed evidence.
