The executable test at the bottom of the tree: system, intervention, meter and time, with what a positive and a null result would mean.

Every field must read like a lab notebook entry, specific enough that a technician could run it tomorrow without asking a question. An experiment carries expected impact, an informative null outcome, a link to the system property it moves, a feasibility score calibrated from standard assay to technology that does not exist yet, and whether it includes a discovery component. It must be pipeline-dependent: not conceivable by someone who only read a review article, because it requires the specific chain that produced it.

Published experiments are the site's "ideas": each has a public page with the original wording, a clear version, the logic back to the goal, the rivals and the payoff either way.
