About this Handbook

The g² Insight Lab Research Handbook serves as the Institute's foundational guide to its research philosophy, principles, methodologies, and institutional practices. It provides an overview of how the Institute approaches inquiry, develops knowledge, and conducts research across its three core research areas: Philosophy of Inquiry, Investigative Reasoning, and Complex Human Systems.

Rather than prescribing rigid procedures, this handbook establishes the conceptual foundations that support rigorous, transparent, and evidence-informed research. It is intended for researchers, students, collaborators, and practitioners seeking to understand the principles that underpin the Institute's work and the development of Forensic STEM™.
