The question comes first. The method follows.
⌕ Evidence review≡ Research methods↳ Engineering assistance⊕ Evaluation
01 — THE PRACTICE[ SCOPED CONSULTANCY ]
One question, investigated properly.
Useful research starts with a decision your team needs to make. We examine what the material supports, where interpretations disagree, and what needs further work.
[ 01 ]⌕
Evidence & problem diagnosis
Review an authorized feedback set alongside the existing backlog. Separate recurring problems from duplicates, missing context, and work already addressed.
Define the labels, questions, and checks a particular problem requires. Make ambiguous cases, alternative explanations, and reasons to take no action explicit.
RECORDS YOU KEEP
Versioned method · codebook · worked examples · review criteria
[ 03 ]↳
Reviewed implementation
Translate a supported decision into an approved task with repository boundaries. Assist with a manually initiated agent attempt and review the resulting change.
Assess what changed and what remains unknown. Compare preparation, review, and rework against your existing workflow. Leave the records with your team.
A research conclusion is useful when another person can challenge it. Follow a sample inquiry from the initial question to a reviewed change and an outcome assessment.
↳ SPEEQO research notebook
FRAME / IMPORT FRICTION
Define a decision the evidence can inform.
Investigate whether validation messages prevent users from correcting import errors. Agree the source material, reviewer, scope, and stopping point before interpretation.
Synthetic examples · no research or agent execution
An existing solution, further investigation, or no change can be the right result.
JUDGMENT REMAINS WITH PEOPLE.
03 — THE CONNECTED WORKSPACE
Tonelingo holds the thread. SPEEQO helps you work through it.
Tonelingo connects source versions, research methods, reviewed decisions, task revisions, approvals, and implementation records in one local workspace.
SPEEQO contributes research judgment and engineering assistance: defining the question, challenging interpretations, designing the review, and helping your team evaluate the result.
Community preview preparation. Repository access and publication terms apply.

04 — ENGAGEMENT & DELIVERABLES
A first engagement, deliberately bounded.
Start with one authorized feedback source, one existing backlog or repository, and one candidate improvement. Agree the fee, review dates, data handling, and responsibilities before work begins.

Evidence source Two export rounds, including corrections.
01
Decision under review Evidence, alternatives, and acceptance criteria.
01
Bounded improvement Reviewed implementation where justified.

What your team keeps
Review responsibility
01 Research definition
Question, source register, method, review criteria, and known limitations.
Agree the decision to inform and authority to process the material.
02 Evidence & decision
Cited findings, counterevidence, alternatives, rationale, and unresolved questions.
Challenge the interpretation and approve the proposed scope.
03 Reviewed change
Task revision, agent attempt record, diff review, and checks tied to a specific commit.
Your technical owner accepts the change and decides on deployment.
04 Evaluation & handover
Outcome assessment or an explicit unmeasured status, portable records, and recovery instructions.
Agree the comparison, observation window, and next decision.
Native-agent execution is manually initiated under an agreed scope. Model-provider accounts and costs stay with your team. Engagements do not include unattended operations, production hosting, or guaranteed business outcomes.
The work brings together qualitative evidence review, product judgment, and practical engineering workflows. These principles shape both the inquiry and its evaluation.
[ 01 ]
Traceable interpretation.
A conclusion links to the records and reasoning behind it. A citation enables inspection; it does not establish that an interpretation is correct.
[ 02 ]
Explicit uncertainty.
Missing information, conflicting accounts, and unmeasured outcomes remain visible. A successful code check and a successful product outcome are separate observations.
[ 03 ]
A competent comparison.
Compare against the tools and methods your team already uses. Include preparation, review, rework, unsuccessful attempts, and support time.
INSPECT THE UNDERLYING WORK
Tonelingo documents the research workflow, implementation boundaries, and evaluation questions behind this consultancy approach.
Tonelingo is the local research and delivery workspace. SPEEQO provides scoped consultancy around the work: research design, evidence review, bounded implementation assistance, and evaluation. The software and the consultancy have separate terms.
Do we need to commission implementation?+
No. An engagement can end with an evidence review, method, or decision record. Research may identify an existing solution, a need for more evidence, or a reason to make no change.
Who approves code and deployment?+
Your designated technical owner accepts changes and decides whether to deploy. Agent assistance works within an approved task revision and repository scope. Verification records identify the revision that was checked.
What happens to our data?+
Source authorization, model processing, access, retention, artifact destination, and deletion of working copies are agreed for the engagement. Tonelingo uses a local workspace; any selected model provider processes data under its own terms and your chosen configuration.
How do we agree scope and fees?+
Begin with a decision, available evidence, and a responsible reviewer. We agree the deliverables, fee, review dates, effort limits, provider costs, and points at which the work should stop or change before starting.
06 — START WITH THE QUESTION
Bring a question worth investigating.
Outline the decision, the evidence you already have, and where the current process loses time or context.
The brief below gives us a concrete starting point for a scope discussion. Keep it high level; source data and access are agreed separately.
