# Session 9: The inquiry framework, the inductive battery, generated hypotheses and readings

Surveys of inquiry frameworks and inductive methods; the artifact-agnostic inquiry toolkit, with the whole project migrated into its ledger; a fourteen-method inductive battery against null texts; an exploration/confirmation split; generated hypotheses with readings, eight predictions tested on the held-back half; the v0.1 theory re-registered; ACH per question. The website's first looks were mocked from the real ledger.
