I think you are on to something with a checklist for benchmarking how solid a research claim is: Where was it conducted: in silico (simulation only) in vitro (test tube only) in mice (or other animal study) how old is it: what earlier research does it build on what other research has been done that replicates or disproves it. Are you aware of other checklists like this?
