Key Points

The aim is to create a framework for evaluating theories throughout their life cycle by distinguishing between prototypes and finished products.
Describes a two-phase life cycle model for theories: prototype and finished product.
Defines evaluation axes distinct to each phase and identifies category errors in evaluation practices.
Proposes that applying finished product evaluation criteria to prototypes constitutes a category error.
Establishes that evaluation of prototypes should focus solely on internal intensity.

Implication

Theory describes a framework for evaluating prototypes and finished products, suggesting limited evaluation criteria for prototypes.

Abstract

This theory describes a framework that separates the life cycle of a theory into two phases, the prototype and the finished product, and applies different evaluation axes to each. It defines the application of the evaluation axes of the finished productto the prototype as a category error and limits the evaluation criteria of the prototype to internal intensity only.
