How IRRC differs

Incremental but must-have research: laser-focused improvements and validations that unblock real manufacturing, even if they’re small—because those are what scale.
Concise: only what’s needed to reproduce
Actionable: steps, parameters, edge cases
Transparent: positive & negative results

Author checklist

Exact materials/equipment & parameter ranges
Data/code or minimal README to rerun
