GFT / Research library
From the cotton fibre to the factory signal. A research programme that follows the conditions behind a useful industrial decision.
The research register / Planned scope
The library is organised around decisions rather than technologies. Start with the commercial and material question, then follow the production routine, the data architecture and the evidence needed to justify the next step.

The register / Five families on one loom
The twenty spines become warp. Scroll the families: the loom lifts each family’s threads, and every title that reaches the reading line brings its cover and summary to the stage.
Family 1 of 5 / 5 theses · Boundary bracket over the lifted shed
Material boundary, market access, finance, compliance and comparison. Each thesis tests whether local processing can become accepted, saleable output.
Follow the material boundary from seed cotton to fibre, then ask which capabilities turn local processing into accepted output. Policy ambition becomes a testable industrial question.
Separate eligibility, origin requirements, tariffs and customer demand. A preference changes access conditions; it does not establish an order book or current eligibility.
Match funding structure to project maturity and evidence. Development expenditure, construction risk and operating cash flows require different commitments and diligence.
Translate an applicable requirement into a record, responsibility and verification process. A research summary does not establish legal compliance or supplier acceptance.
Compare industrial strategies on a consistent material and market basis. Different countries, periods and policy conditions must remain visible in any comparison.
Family 2 of 5 / 4 theses · Measure, owner, action
Performance systems, supervision, inventory and utilisation. Each thesis asks what a supervisor can act on when a result moves.
Connect strategy, line measures, capture routines and accountable review. A performance system earns its place when a supervisor can act on the exception it reveals.
Link the production ramp to demonstrated supervisory and technical skills. Training throughput matters only when people can perform the responsibilities the operating plan assigns.
Choose a replenishment rule around demand uncertainty and lead time. Service targets, working capital and supplier constraints belong in the same decision.
Distinguish utilisation, OEE and balance efficiency before comparing lines. The right denominator turns a general productivity discussion into a bounded loss diagnosis.
Family 3 of 5 / 4 theses · Against a baseline
Inspection, forecasting, design and sampling. Each thesis keeps evaluation separate from fitting and states what the data can support.
Separate camera performance from the final quality outcome. Local fabrics, defect definitions, human review and full operating costs decide whether inspection should expand.
Begin with a simple baseline and keep evaluation separate from fitting. Sales history, missing demand and changing assortment determine which forecast can support a stock decision.
Follow the passage from a generated concept to a production specification. Revision control, material constraints and approval remain necessary even when design iteration becomes faster.
Compare physical and digital sampling on revisions, approved specifications and accepted production. Time or cost savings remain conditional on the actual workflow.
Family 4 of 5 / 4 theses · Count what crosses the boundary
Traceability, water and energy, circularity and carbon. Each thesis defines the boundary before it reports an intensity.
Carry material identity through each transformation and document where batches split or merge. A traceability record must survive ordinary factory exceptions and corrections.
Pair metered consumption with a defined production boundary. Resource intensity improves only when the numerator, accepted output and treatment of rejects remain comparable.
Account for waste at its origin and distinguish reuse, recycling and disposal routes. A circular proposition needs material quality, collection and a credible downstream outlet.
Define the product and accounting boundary before estimating emissions. Allocation, energy sources and upstream material assumptions can change the conclusion materially.
Family 5 of 5 / 3 theses · The record survives an outage
Weak-grid design, data governance and edge-to-dashboard architecture. Each thesis designs recovery together with the normal path.
Keep essential events and decisions available when power or connectivity fails. Recovery, buffering and maintainability shape the architecture before a remote service is chosen.
Give events consistent definitions, ownership and revision rules. Data governance makes a small industrial team able to reproduce an output and trace a changed input.
Join edge capture, validation, core records and decision interfaces. Design the recovery path with the normal path so an interrupted connection does not erase an event.
The shed closes · operable family distribution
All twenty threads drop level, and the weft runs out of the loom into the reading route below.
Industry (5 threads, 1,000p floor): WP01, WP08, WP13, WP17, WP19. Industry: the question comes before the machine.
The reading loom / one weft through the register
A factory question rarely stops at the edge of one paper. Step, scrub or play the route to see how the research joins.

Active signal
Material boundary → industrial questionMeasure → owner → actionApplication + data foundation → bounded testScenario → sensitivity → qualified decision
Step 1 of 4 / Frame the industrial question
Read the material boundary before the investment proposition. Fibre, seed cotton, yarn, fabric and finished garments describe different quantities. A processing ambition becomes useful when the required customers, capabilities and operating conditions are explicit.
Threads joined: WP01
Step 2 of 4 / Design the operating routine
Move from feasibility to performance management. A measure needs a stable definition, an owner, a collection method and a review routine. A research argument should explain which decision changes when the result moves.
Threads joined: WP01 → WP02
Step 3 of 4 / Choose the digital intervention
Inspection, forecasting and optimisation have different data needs. Read the relevant systems paper alongside the application paper. A promising model remains conditional on local evidence, maintainability and the ability to recover when the normal connection fails.
Threads joined: WP01 → WP02 → WP03 → WP14
Step 4 of 4 / Return to the decision
Use the tools to inspect sensitivity, then return to the paper for context and limits. A calculated scenario does not turn an illustrative input into a measured fact. Keep the source, version and conditions with any result used in a decision.
Threads joined: WP01 → WP02 → WP03 → WP14 → Qualified decision
Conceptual decision path. Not a measured process.
Keep the ambition qualified
50% processed locally · 10 of 20 threads
The sage threads show the share processed locally, the grey threads the share that leaves raw. The two marks are the annex figures (R06, R07). Every other position is illustrative arithmetic on a scale, not a forecast.

Read the status with the argument
Three conditions travel with every paper. Scroll or select one to see how it changes what you may conclude.
The register preserves the full research scope while the papers develop. A web-route label confirms that a reading destination is present in this build. It does not certify a finished PDF, independent review, a field result or completion of the minimum page requirement.
Research outlines state the intended thesis and scope. A draft web edition provides material for review. Neither status implies acceptance by a client, independent technical approval or publication of a completed PDF. Use the stated version when recording a conclusion.
Public context comes from the fact base and each paper’s sources. Derived results need their input values and method. Illustrative examples explain a mechanism; they are not operating evidence. The source register explains where the programme annex stops short of article verification.
A published benchmark cannot establish GFT field performance. Before applying a research conclusion, check the product, time window, operating conditions and acceptance criterion. Where law, tax or financing matters, obtain current specialist advice. These papers are not investment, legal or tax advice.
