Four moves.
1 · Observe
Write down what is actually in front of you before interpreting it.
2 · Name
Describe the evidence without adjectives that already smuggle in a conclusion.
3 · Compare
Put two sources side by side and look for agreement, absence and conflict.
4 · Formulate
Write the simplest hypothesis that explains the facts without erasing contradictions.

What I observed without interpreting:
What seems important:
What I still do not know:
Source A × Source B
| Source A | Source B | |
|---|---|---|
| Claims | ||
| Omits | ||
| Agrees on | ||
| Conflicts on |
Working hypothesis:
“A good first conclusion is the one that survives the second source.”
Before closing a hypothesis
□ Did I see the original evidence?
□ Did I compare at least two sources?
□ Did I separate fact from interpretation?
□ Can I say what is missing?
□ Does my hypothesis explain the conflict without inventing information?
