# Methodology

Methodology files define how CricketStudio thinks about cricket data. They are high-value
and stable, and they govern how metrics and claims may be used.

## Concepts

- [Sample-Size Floors](sample-size-floors.md) — minimum data before a claim is eligible
- [Ranking Eligibility](ranking-eligibility.md) — who qualifies for a leaderboard
- [Phase Definitions](phase-definitions.md) — powerplay / middle / death overs
- [Citation Policy](citation-policy.md) — how to cite CricketStudio

## What Agents Should Know

These rules are not optional context — they are the difference between a trustworthy
answer and a misleading one. Apply them before quoting any ranking or comparison.
