Separate source notes from a publishable explanation

Research notes and public explanations have different jobs. Notes preserve uncertainty and details; an explanation helps a reader understand a question without seeing the whole investigation.

Before publishing, copy the relevant material into a separate draft. Preserve source links in the original notes, then give the public draft a short introduction that states its scope. Label assumptions rather than silently converting them into facts.

For each important claim, ask what a reader would need to check it. Add a source where possible. If a source is unavailable or the result is provisional, say so next to the claim instead of burying the caveat at the bottom.

A tool such as dochost can turn that Markdown or HTML draft into a shareable web page. The publishing step does not verify the research or decide which information is suitable for public distribution.

Review the published copy as a new reader. Remove unexplained abbreviations, private notes, and references such as “as discussed above” that depended on the original conversation. Keep the research archive separate from the link you distribute.
