Alterlab Hypothesis Gen

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-hypothesis-gen

Formulates structured, testable hypotheses from experimental observations using a scientific-method framework — derives predictions, proposes mechanisms, and designs experiments to test them, then renders a LaTeX report. Use when turning observations or data into falsifiable, mechanistic hypotheses, competing-explanation sets, testable predictions, or experimental designs. For a standalone systematic literature review or evidence synthesis (not a means to hypotheses) use alterlab-literature-review; to evaluate an existing manuscript use alterlab-peer-review. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
