Field notes
The workflow runs through eight named steps, from finding a theoretical problem to stating the contribution. Article reading can be imported as JSON after using a prepared prompt with an LLM; the page says papers attached in ChatGPT are not added automatically. In the graph, literature-derived material and researcher additions have separate visual markers, while acceptance is tracked separately from evidence source.
