  "criteria": [
    "Specify the research jobs an assistant needs to perform; tool connectivity alone is not a research methodology.",
    "Require evidence provenance and human review for decisions that depend on participant findings.",
    "Confirm the actual connector, permissions, supported actions and export formats in a small test."

  "steps": [
    "Map the desired assistant workflow to supported research capabilities.",
    "Confirm access, permissions and required human approvals.",
    "Run a bounded pilot with a representative study.",
    "Review evidence, failure handling and outputs before increasing autonomy."
  ],
  "verification": [
    "Confirm that the tool only accesses authorized studies.",
    "Inspect citations and links behind material findings.",
    "Verify what happens when a tool fails or a required input is missing."
