Separate published evidence, submitted work, internal observations, and emerging frameworks

Publication status is explicit

• Peer-reviewed and published.
• Accepted or in press.
• Submitted and under review.
• Preprint, conference, or professional article.
• Internal operational report.
• Emerging concept or research program.

Every record should include

• Title, authors, date, journal or venue, and persistent link.
• Study or case type, sample, method, outcome definition, and limitations.
• Disclosure of Cats in the City, TANDEM Cat®, and author relationships.
• Plain-language summary and the exact educational pages it supports.

Research is part of governance

Curriculum claims should be updated when evidence changes. Older course language remains versioned rather than silently overwritten.
