Principles

How I approach claims

  • Make assumptions explicit. If a conclusion depends on an assumption, it should be visible.
  • Prefer designs over algorithms. Strong identification beats fancy models.
  • Show sensitivity. If small changes flip results, that’s a result.
  • Reproducibility by default. Clean structure, pinned dependencies, and runnable outputs.

What “trustworthy” means here

  • Clear scope: what a method can and cannot answer
  • Sources when factual claims matter
  • Honest uncertainty when evidence is thin
