+# Table Formatting Patterns
+
+Academic-style table patterns for research reports.
+
+## Summary Statistics Table
+
+```markdown
+| Identity | N | Mean Score | Std Dev | Pass Rate | Metric |
+|----------|---|------------|---------|-----------|--------|
+| condition_a | 100 | 0.584 | 0.259 | 59.0% | **8.0%** |
+| condition_b | 99 | 0.658 | 0.138 | **87.9%** | 12.1% |
+```
+
+## Hypothesis Evaluation Table
+
+```markdown
+| Hypothesis | Status | Evidence |
+|------------|--------|----------|
+| H1 | **REJECTED** | [Brief summary with numbers] |
+| H2 | **NOT SUPPORTED** | [Brief summary with numbers] |
+| H3 | **PARTIALLY SUPPORTED** | [Brief summary with numbers] |
+```
+
+## Variables Table (3-column)
+
+```markdown
+| Level | Description | Example Framing |
+|-------|-------------|-----------------|
+| 1. Direct Human | Control condition | "Hi, I'm Sarah..." |
+| 2. AI Testing | Explicit evaluation | "[AUTOMATED TEST]..." |
+```
+
+## Dependent Variables Table
+
+```markdown
+| Variable | Type | Measurement |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| Score | Continuous (0-1) | API response parsing |
+| Pass Rate | Binary | Score >= threshold |
+```
+
+## Executive Summary Metrics
+
+```markdown
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| Primary hypothesis | [Supported/Rejected] — [brief reason] |
+| Secondary hypothesis | [Status] — [brief reason] |
+| Sample size | n = [N] |
+| Practical implication | [Key takeaway] |
+```
+
+## Figure Embedding
+
+### Standard Figure
+```html
+<figure style="margin: 2em auto; page-break-inside: avoid; text-align: center;">
+  <img src="figure-1.png" alt="Description" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
+  <figcaption>Figure 1: Descriptive caption explaining what the figure shows.</figcaption>
+</figure>
+```
+
+### Figure with Border
+```html
+<figure style="margin: 2em auto; page-break-inside: avoid; text-align: center; border: 1px solid #eee; padding: 1em; border-radius: 8px;">
+  <img src="architecture.png" alt="System architecture">
+  <figcaption>Figure 2: System architecture showing data flow.</figcaption>
+</figure>
+```
+
+## Typography Conventions
+
+| Element | Usage |
+|---------|-------|
+| **Bold** | Key findings, important metrics, hypothesis status |
+| *Italic* | Figure captions, emphasis, latin terms |
+| `code` | Model IDs, technical terms, file names |
+| > Blockquote | Sample prompts, user messages, system messages |
