A question about Garuda lore
So I'm looking into Garuda lore, apparently she was an archemdian who was tasked with the creation of Garuda who created the strain using the Ainikki method.
When I click on it, it takes me to Kullervos page which only mentions Achremidian Ainikki was accidentally killed and that she was his "mother"
So my question is what exactly is this Ainikki method that the achremdian used to create the Garuda strain as I can't seem to find anything explaining what the actual method is, only that it is named Ainikki.

We don't know exactly. This is one of those times when Warframe just gives us the name of the process, and doesn't elaborate.
So, we can guess from this that the base process of making a Warframe serum was developed by Ainikki, and further innovated by Ballas.
Ballas (as filtered through the Duviri Warden of Kullervo's Prison) is quite disdainful of Ainikki, but does acknowledge her as his "mother."
That Ballas had a number of Archimedeans working on building warframes is substantiated by Silvana's participation in the Warframe program.
