Methods and methodology refer to a process of investigating findings.

An investigative process by which facts are subjected to scrutiny.

Where the scrutinizing of the evidence based on substantiated facts can be placed in a larger context.

Where meaning arises from scrutiny of the facts and a reflection on the context such that meaning is more certain than not.

The outcome of the investigate process to tease certainty from uncertainty --when evaluated-- may uncover inconsistencies or contradictions that lead to new theories.
