ci-evidence-and-objects
Use to choose and read the objects a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay analyzes — texts, images, artworks, films, performances, events, or cases. In CI the "evidence" is not data but objects read closely through theory; this skill helps select objects that test and earn the intervention and handle images to journal standard. It guides selection and reading; it does not run statistics or build datasets.

# Evidence & Objects (ci-evidence-and-objects)
In *Critical Inquiry* there are **no datasets** — the evidence is **objects read closely**: literary
and philosophical texts, paintings, photographs, films, buildings, performances, archival documents,
political or historical cases. This skill helps you pick objects that actually test the intervention,
read them so the claim is earned, and prepare images to the journal's standard.
## When to trigger
- Choosing which texts/images/cases the essay will read
- An argument that asserts more than its objects can demonstrate
- A reading that is rich but not visibly tied to the claim
- Preparing figures and image permissions for submission
