SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze hypothesis results and the overall hypothesis graph to provide a structured recommendation on whether to continue, pivot, kill, or fork the research direction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph-aware evaluation: interprets completed hypothesis cards and the hypothesis graph to determine alignment with the research brief.
  • Decision recommendations: outputs a next-step decision with justification and suggested follow-up hypotheses.
  • Resource and timebox awareness: accounts for budget, time constraints, and remaining branches in the graph.
  • Documentation of learnings: captures rationale for the decision and implications for future work.

Quick Start

Provide the completed hypothesis card, the hypothesis graph, and the research brief, and this skill will generate a recommended next step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide whether to pivot or kill a research hypothesis after an experiment?▼

To decide whether to pivot or kill a research hypothesis, analyze the experiment outcomes against verification criteria and the research brief. Graph-aware evaluation of resource usage and topology provides a structured recommendation to continue, pivot, kill, or fork.

What is the best way to determine next-action decisions during a hypothesis review?▼

The best way to determine next-action decisions during a hypothesis review is by analyzing graph topology and experiment outcomes. This approach evaluates alignment with the research brief and accounts for budget and time constraints to recommend follow-up work.

Can I get suggested follow-up hypotheses when evaluating experiment outcomes?▼

Yes, you can get suggested follow-up hypotheses when evaluating experiment outcomes. The decision recommendation includes a next-step decision with justification and identifies specific follow-up work based on the hypothesis graph topology.

Does graph topology analysis account for timebox and resource constraints in decision-making?▼

Yes, graph topology analysis accounts for timebox and resource constraints in decision-making. The evaluation explicitly incorporates budget limits, time constraints, and remaining branches in the graph to guide whether to continue, pivot, kill, or fork.
