A structured framework for examining unusual topics responsibly, distinguishing documentation from testimony and possibility.
How Project A.C.E. Investigates
Every research file follows a structured approach designed to examine unusual topics responsibly.
Source Collection
Research may include:
- Historical documents
- Scientific publications
- Government records
- Witness testimony
- Expert analysis
- Primary sources when available
Classification Framework
Evidence Evaluation
Findings are organized into three distinct classifications:
Confirmed Evidence
Information supported by reliable documentation or repeatable observation.
Reported Information
Accounts or claims that exist but require further verification.
Speculation & Hypothesis
Ideas that are possible but not currently proven.
Alternative Explanations
A.C.E. investigations consider conventional explanations before exploring extraordinary possibilities.
Open Questions
Some investigations may not reach definitive conclusions. Remaining questions are documented rather than ignored.
Protocol 06 / Core Directive
