Idea Signal Mapper

Goal: create a reusable, table-first artifact that answers:

where the literature tension is concrete rather than generic,
which missing control or missing comparison actually keeps the question open,
what the literature already suggests,
where the tension lies,
what is still missing,
which academically meaningful axis might be worth deeper discussion.
