  "summary": "Interesting is not the same thing as eligible.",
  "kind": "checklist",
  "body": "Before screening, state what evidence must contain to answer the question: population/context, intervention/exposure, outcome, study type, timeframe or another decision-relevant criterion. Apply the same criteria across records and record a short exclusion reason for borderline items when later audit matters.",
  "limits": [
    "Exploratory scoping may intentionally begin with broader criteria; label that phase rather than pretending it is final screening."

      "claim": "The 2025 literature-search guide separates scoping, searching, screening and reporting rather than treating one final database query as the whole retrieval process.",

  "example": "For an AI-reliance pack, include studies measuring human advice adoption or decision quality and exclude papers that only discuss model accuracy with no human interaction.",
  "check": "Two similar records receive the same eligibility decision for the same reason.",
  "checklist": [
    "Inclusion criteria are written before deep screening.",
    "Criteria map directly to the research question.",
    "The same rule is used for favored and unfavored findings.",
    "Borderline exclusions have a short reason when stakes justify it.",
    "Criteria changes are versioned and may trigger rescreening."
