- Write the baseline before automation.
- Do not call a draft method reviewed.
- Separate exploratory discovery from a supported conclusion.
Describe the corpus
Each dataset receives a provenance passport, licence, time slice, limitations and deletion rules.
- A synthetic benchmarkA test set with expected answers that measures a reference implementation, not real-world quality. is not a real-world quality metric.
- Share aggregates and reproducibility bundles only after rights review.
- Do not move personal data into QazLake, Compute or an AI provider without a separate basis.
Publish negative results
Non-reproduction, gaps and abstentionA decision not to make a stronger conclusion when evidence is insufficient or conflicting, with the gap stated explicitly. are part of science, not a presentation defect.
- Keep a method changelog.
- Let an independent reader repeat the safe scenario.
- Give every material correction a new version and date.
