Synthetic research is repeatable only when methods are explicit. Method discipline keeps persona outputs comparable, auditable, and fit for decision-making.
- Document study design, framing, and validation so others can reproduce results.
- Run stability and sensitivity checks to expose fragility before deployment.
- Pair methods with disclosure labels to make claims interpretable.
