Reproducibility
Can the result be reproduced from recorded inputs, environment, method, and measurement?
Research Practice / Validation & Transfer
Evidence is not ready until its boundaries are visible.
Validation asks whether a result survives challenge. Transfer asks whether another team can use it without inheriting hidden assumptions.

Validation questions
What must survive scrutiny?
Robustness
Does the result persist across realistic variation, degraded inputs, and adversarial or unusual conditions?
Boundary conditions
Where does performance change materially, and which assumptions are load-bearing?
Operational suitability
Can the method meet latency, cost, safety, maintainability, security, and governance constraints?
Transfer package
Make the knowledge portable.
The receiving engineering team should be able to understand both the result and the conditions attached to it.
