Hypothesis.
When working through an idea using the rules of the scientific method, you first must start out with a statement of what you hope to find or prove. It's the "What I want to find" to the Method & Methodologies' "How I am going to find it." Even if the data or evidence fail(s) to support it, you still need the statement of purpose. If the statement and results are not a good fit, then the statement (hypothesis) can be revised or thrown out.
Science is based around experimentation and then creating a theory to support the evidence found through your experiment. Therefore with out experiments you have no science.
