Research methodology
Evidence first. Clear boundaries. Visible limitations.
Sitora publishes practical research intended to support discussion, policy development, product discovery and stakeholder validation. Our methodology is designed to make it clear what is established, what is reported by a third party, and what remains a hypothesis.
Claims matched to evidence
A source is used only for the proposition it actually supports. Context, date and scope matter.
Vendor claims labelled
Product capabilities described by suppliers are treated as public vendor claims unless independently verified.
Hypotheses separated
New operating models, product concepts and future opportunities are labelled as proposals to test, not established outcomes.
Limitations visible
Known gaps, uncertain figures, old benchmarks and areas requiring field validation are stated rather than hidden.
Human accountability
AI may support research synthesis, structure and analysis, but publication decisions and final claims remain subject to human review.
Publication standard
Each public paper should identify its purpose, publication date, evidence basis and material limitations. Where figures are historic, estimated or drawn from a limited population, that context should travel with the figure.
Desk research cannot show how a workflow performs inside every organisation. Where the decisive evidence requires interviews, pilots, operational data or independent technical review, the paper should say so explicitly.
Research pages may be revised when stronger evidence becomes available. Significant updates should be reflected in the page date or version note.
