Quality Architecture
The 4-layer QC architecture.
A defect-elimination architecture sequenced so each layer catches what the previous one cannot.
| Layer | Focus | What it catches |
|---|---|---|
| QC01 · Scientific | Scientific review | Scientific accuracy, data integrity, statistical soundness and evidence-to-claim alignment. |
| QC02 · Editorial | Editorial review | Language, structure, IMRaD flow, readability and journal style conformance. |
| QC03 · Compliance | Compliance review | CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, COPE, ICMJE and GPP compliance verification. |
| QC04 · Technical | Technical review | Formatting, references, submission-portal readiness and technical governance. |
