Not just the finding, but three readings with different epistemic status — what the paper supports, what a professional could do with it, and what must be judged in context.
Most research databases give you the abstract — the study's own summary in one register: episteme, an analytical statement of findings. TRIAD adds two more readings with different epistemic status: techne, an interpretive proposal for professional application (not a result of the original study); phronesis, reflective prompts for what you must judge in context. These are three kinds of reading, not three equally certain answers.
Screening is about topic, not quality: an AI relevance check decides whether a study belongs in the library. Read three ways means analysed with TRIAD, which is done on demand.
Three of Aristotle's intellectual virtues, operationalised for professional practice — the science side, the art side, and Crichton-Fock's Double Grip that turns the coin between them
An IMRaD abstract captures the study's finding — that is episteme, stated in terms. What to do with it, and what must be judged in context, are different kinds of knowledge that cannot be said in the same voice. TRIAD adds two more readings: techne, a reasoned professional-application proposal; phronesis, situated questions and scenarios that require the practitioner's own judgment.
