\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
State the research question in one sentence. Name the method or rubric in one or two sentences. Give the main findings in plain words. Keep process notes, sourcing notes, and budget lines out of the abstract.
\end{abstract}

\noindent\textbf{Keywords:} keyword one; keyword two; keyword three

\section{Introduction}

Open with the question and why it matters. Define the terms the reader needs. Cite real sources in author-year form, for example \citep{placeholder2026}.

\begin{quote}
\textbf{RQ.} Write the research question here.
\end{quote}

\section{Methods}

\subsection{Evidence base}

Describe the sources and how they were chosen.

\subsection{Scoring or analysis}

Describe the rubric, model, or analysis. Define every symbol, for example \(S = A + B + C\).

\section{Results}

Report what the evidence shows. Point to figures and tables by number (Figure~\ref{fig:example}).

\begin{figure}[ht]

\caption{Example figure. EXAMPLE DATA, not a real series. Replace with a source-backed figure and name the source here.}
\label{fig:example}
\end{figure}

\section{Discussion}

Interpret the results. Mark thin claims with a confidence note beside the claim.

\section{Limitations}

List what the evidence cannot support.

\section{Conclusion}

Answer the research question in a few sentences.
