Notes

Standard structure of analysis

NB: This is a suggestion not a strait-jacket 😄

• X is desirable (may have subclaims)
• Crypto/web3/blockchain will provide X
  • and better than alternatives
• No side effects that outweigh benefit of X

All 3 need to be true/plausible for claim to be overall true/plausible.

Frontmatter

Purpose:

• Can find all the claims (automatically)
• Can find all deep dives
• Can find all featured
• Can find all interviews
• For each claim
  • have title
  • BONUS have description
  • evaluation
• Make clear method for logging evidence for claims being made
  • Basic option: add to zotero with note
  • More advanced: do basic and create a notes page for that article with excerpts
• Show evidence for claims
  • Blockquote with citation/link
    • If we have a dedicated page for that person/author then link them instead (?)

Other front matter

• title
• description

title:
description: # optional (can fill in later)
category:
  - claim: y
  # and also optional (default is n)
  - featured: y # optional
  - interview: y
  - deepdive: y
claim:
  - evaluation: # options? YY, Y, ?, N, NN
  - confidence: # hh, h, m, l, ll (very high to medium to very low)

Reference process

• Let's have a folder per claim in zotero
  • Add all references there
  • Have a subfolder for "Evidence Claim being Made"
