<Study title>

Identity and question

• Study ID, project/work, owner, date/revision:
• Status: proposed / active / paused / complete / superseded
• Method: practice-led / comparison / retrospective diagnosis / combined
• Bounded question and why it matters:
• Related sources and studies:

Artistic participation and scope

• How could Agent intention enter this work?
• What would only establish infrastructure or fixed execution?
• Which artistic/technical claims are outside this study?
• Shared Guidance reused; project-specific requirements:

Method and authority

• Materials, surface/version, environment and configuration:
• Inputs/candidate identities, or explicitly unknown:
• Authorized actions, privacy, cost, side effects and stop conditions:
• For comparisons only: hypothesis, disconfirming outcome, factors, invariants, confounds, measures, assignment, sample budget and revision rules.
• For retrospective diagnosis: what was known before vs after the outcome?

No credentials, raw private handoffs, unnecessary personal paths or account data.

Dated activity and observations

Append each material encounter or change:

• Date/sequence and action:
• Observation and artifact reference:
• Intervention, refusal/failure/unknown:
• Interpretation, competing explanation and limits:
• Next bounded move:

Outcome and interpretation

Separate technical outcome, artwork artifact, intentional participation and situated judgment. Preserve counterevidence. Do not force a universal score.

Evaluate the Lab method

• What concretely helped?
• What failed or was omitted?
• What was measured about time/cost; what was not?
• Can any effect be attributed to the method, or is this only a useful case?
• What small change to Guidance or the project practice is justified?

Transfer and handoff

• Scoped proposed lesson and evidence:
• Known failure cases/counterevidence:
• Review condition and what would change the conclusion:
• What another project must not infer:
• Completed study versus unresolved product/artistic questions:
• Next action, owner and any authority still needed:
• Publication status and unavailable evidence:
