The project and the problem
In the research laboratory, scientists needed to draft experiments with branches, dependencies, recipes, equipment and measurement decisions before operators received executable work. Treating every draft step as a task would expose unapproved plans. The system also had to distinguish rescheduling, retrying a failed attempt, adding scientifically necessary rework and correcting evidence instead of treating them as one generic edit.
How the process worked
Scientific intention was versioned as activities and dependencies, then validated and explicitly released before executable work items existed. Execution attempts remained attached to the released intention; retries added attempts, rework added new intended work and evidence corrections preserved the original record with an amendment.
