Working Paper No. 002 (Version 2.0) The Methodology of Forensic STEM™

Working Paper No. 002 introduces the research problem motivating the development of Forensic STEM™, a proposed interdisciplinary methodology for investigating human systems through structured observation, systematic reconstruction, and evidence-based evaluation. Rather than presenting a completed discipline, this paper establishes the conceptual foundation of the research programme by defining its subject of study, outlining the proposed research hypothesis, identifying key research themes, and introducing the ethical principles that will guide future methodological development. The paper is intended to encourage constructive critique, interdisciplinary discussion, and continued refinement as the Forensic STEM™ research programme evolves.
