msom-methods
Use when matching the method and identification to the operations problem for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — selecting the analytical model class and solution approach, or the empirical identification strategy. Designs the study; msom-data-analysis executes and reports it.

# Methods & Identification (msom-methods)
## When to trigger
- You must choose a solution approach for an analytical model, or an identification strategy for an empirical study
- A reviewer questions whether the method can actually deliver the claimed operational insight
- You are unsure whether to pursue closed-form structure, computation, or estimation
- The operations decision and the method have drifted apart
## Match the method to the operations decision
M&SOM accepts the method that the **operations problem** demands and routes it to the right department. The method must be able to deliver insight about an **operational decision** — that is the gate, in either lane.
### Analytical lane (dominant tradition)
