Organize science around claims

Instead of indexing and debating whole papers, build literature, databases, and evaluation systems keyed to individual, testable claims (who said what, what evidence, and how replicable). This would make replication, meta‑analysis, and policy translation more direct by attaching evidence, provenance, and updates to discrete assertions rather than documents. — Shifting to claims‑first organization would reshape incentives for journals, funders, and researchers and could materially improve reproducibility, policy use of science, and public understanding of contested findings.
