Mechanisms¶
- Maximum Variation Case Round
- Its strength is turning "we studied whoever we could reach" into a deliberate robustness test: maximum-variation sampling makes any pattern that survives wide difference genuinely credible, and exposes the ones that were quietly context-bound.
This sourceDescribes maximum-variation sampling as selecting widely differing cases to document diversity and identify important common patterns that cut across the variation.

- Maximum-Variation Case Sampling
- Its strength is that it front-loads the hardest possible test: a pattern that survives a maximum-variation sample has already faced the differences most likely to break it, so downstream induction and perturbation start from evidence that is earned rather than cherry-picked.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
