Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “Keep this as research documentation and do not turn…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Exercise RESEARCH-10445/31: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 31 — Reproducibility checklist for a bench-method discussion · source wording exercise

Method note for “Reproducibility checklist for a bench-method discussion”: use “Keep this as research documentation and do not turn…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Correction note for “Reproducibility checklist for a bench-method discussion”: retain the wording beginning “Keep this as research documentation and do not turn…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
