Start with the question
An explanation should have a defined scope and distinguish a general principle from a product-specific claim. Research topics are starting points for investigation, not proof of a claim.
Use suitable sources
Relevant original research, official documentation, standards and technical references can support an explanation. A manufacturer can establish how its own product is specified, while broader claims may need independent evidence.
Make references useful
References should identify the document or page used and link to it where possible. State important dates, conditions, units and limitations alongside the claim they qualify.
Explain illustrations
Conceptual illustrations simplify a mechanism. They should be labelled as such and should not be treated as engineering drawings, operating procedures or verified product specifications.
Keep uncertainty visible
Estimates and examples should be identified. Conflicting evidence or unresolved limitations should not be hidden behind a confident summary.
