Research Process

The stories on this site are grounded in research, but not driven by it. This page outlines how historical sources, social context, and period detail are gathered and assessed, and how decisions are made about what enters the narrative. Accuracy matters, but so does clarity, pacing, and emotional truth.

Research is treated as a framework rather than a constraint. Where evidence is strong, it is respected. Where the historical record is thin or silent, informed interpretation is used with care and consistency.
