Mechanisms¶
- Process Tracing and Mechanism Discrimination
- Its deepest hazard is equifinality: several distinct processes can end at the same state and even the same curve, so the trace can rationalize whichever mechanism the analyst arrived with unless the forbidden-observation test genuinely bites.
This sourceIdentifies equifinality as the possibility that distinct causal processes can lead to the same observed outcome.

- Within-Case Process Tracing
- Its central danger is seductive storytelling — a plausible narrative can always be assembled from selectively chosen traces, and a well-told chain feels like proof while resting on confirmation
This sourceWarns that process tracing can become seductive storytelling and rest on confirmation rather than proof.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
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.
