A subset of stage evidence specific to scientific contexts: data that is produced, selected, or interpreted under conditions controlled by the researcher to ensure a desired outcome. This includes cherry‑picking positive results, excluding outliers without justification, and using statistical techniques that guarantee significance. Stage scientific evidence is often indistinguishable from genuine evidence to a non‑expert, but it lacks the robustness of open, pre‑registered, and replicated science. It is science performed for an audience, not for knowledge.
