PLLM distinguishes a reproduction, an engineering improvement, and a scientific
contribution. Reproducing prior work, cleaning code, moving code to Rust, reporting
an unmatched speed result, weakening privacy or quality, or hiding system costs is
not by itself a new scientific contribution.

A proposed new contribution needs a distinct method, a documented search of prior
work, a clear novelty argument, completed review gates, and a matched improvement
without hidden regressions. A paper claim also needs comparable evidence, scoped
assurance, negative results, and explicit limitations. Each claim links to its
source, PLLM implementation, plan, cohort, evidence, and document build.

The [PLLM Research Paper](/research/paper/) and
[PLLM Whitepaper](/research/whitepaper/) are scoped historical records. Future
claims still require the same evidence and review.
