01 / WHAT WE TRACK

How should hypothesis-generating AI be verified and steered?

02 / EVIDENCE & TECHNOLOGY

AutoDiscovery / LLMs / TCGA

03 / EDITORIAL READING

In this case, evaluate expert steering as well as search capacity, tracking failures alongside successes.

04 / WHAT REMAINS UNKNOWN

Preprint abstract and institutional reporting only. Independent replication and general superiority are unverified.

05 / NEXT CHECK

Evaluation conditions, failure cases and replication on other data by independent teams.

A hypothesis to keep honest

HYPOTHESIS · NOT YET TESTED

Expert steering may improve the chance of reaching meaningful discoveries.

What would change our view: Reconsider if controlled comparisons do not reproduce the benefit; do not generalize from this case alone.

A prospective test proposal, not a prediction score. A graph connection does not validate this hypothesis.
