From Checklist to Design Constraint

Instead of treating reproducibility as a final checklist, the group described it as a design constraint that shapes every stage of the pipeline.

Versioned Data and Provenance

Each dataset revision is tracked alongside the transformations applied to it, so any published figure can be traced back to the exact inputs that produced it.

Documentation That Outlives Projects

Templates for decision logs and pipeline notes make it possible for new collaborators to pick up a project without relying on informal knowledge.
