assumption-criticality

The assumption-criticality skill systematically identifies and ranks assumptions in research by their impact on conclusions. It extracts stated assumptions, negates each one individually, re-derives conclusions under those altered conditions, and measures the sensitivity of results to each assumption change. Use this when evaluating research robustness, validating argument strength, or identifying which foundational claims most critically determine outcomes across web and academic sources.

# Assumption Criticality

Rank assumptions by their impact on conclusions.

## Budget

| Base SOP | Target | ±10% Range |
|----------|--------|------------|
| web-search | 30 | 27–33 |
| web-research | 10 | 9–11 |
| paper-overview | 30 | 27–33 |
| paper-search | 20 | 18–22 |
| paper-research | 10 | 9–11 |

## State Ledger

```
<HARD-GATE>
| SOP | Done | Target | % |
|-----|------|--------|---|
| web-search | ? | 30 | ? |
| web-research | ? | 10 | ? |
| paper-overview | ? | 30 | ? |
| paper-search | ? | 20 | ? |
| paper-research | ? | 10 | ? |
Budget Gate: OPEN/CLOSED (>=80% required to exit)
</HARD-GATE>

## Available Tactics

- assumption-perturbation

## Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** assumption-extraction, negation-definition, re-derivation, conclusion-sensitivity-measurement

## Execution Guidance

Extract assumptions, define negation for each, re-derive conclusions under negated assumption, measure how much the conclusion changes. Rank by conclusion sensitivity.
