The CP1 Method turns a question into a versioned, evidence-governed CASE. Define the question; observe and collect; map claims and evidence; compare models; state predictions; test and challenge; assess the surviving explanations; update visibly; repeat. The method does not guarantee a final answer. It creates a disciplined path for improving one.
Governed sequence
OBSERVE + COLLECT
Record observations, measurements, sources, provenance and limitations before selecting a conclusion.
MAP + MODEL
Turn claims and evidence into a visible map. Represent serious competing explanations.
PREDICT + TEST
Ask what each model predicts and where their predictions differ. Then try to break them.
ASSESS
Compare explanatory fit, contradictions, uncertainty and failure conditions. Scores support review; they do not replace it.
UPDATE + REPEAT
When evidence changes, the CASE changes. Versions and material corrections remain visible.
