Sluice
Research validation and decision records
Whether a research conclusion can be trusted depends on what could be seen at the time, how it was validated, and how it was recorded. Sluice is about reproducible research validation and traceable decision records — the gate between evidence and decision: let through, hold, or close, and each move leaves a record.
The question it cares about
Looking back, nobody can say what a decision was based on; conclusions can't be reviewed.
Where it sits in the family
The one that controls the gate. It stands on its own, alongside Inlet and Gauge.
