forced-connection

Force connection between two unrelated concepts. Deliberately construct bridging paths where no natural connection exists.

fractionation

Split concepts into smaller units and recombine them differently to produce novel structures.

fragility-flagging

Identify which specific assumption changes cause conclusion divergence. Rates fragility severity and plausibility of alternatives.

fragility-measurement

Compute a fragility index from flip-point distances and degradation scores, summarizing how robust the conclusion is.

framework-guided-formulation

Strategy: Select an RQ framework (PICO/SPIDER/SPICE/ECLIPSE) and apply it systematically

framework-selection-and-application

Tactic: Select the most suitable RQ framework and apply it systematically

full-ranking

Produce a complete ordering of all candidates using PROMETHEE I/II, ELECTRE III, or MAVT methods.

function-analysis

FMEA Step 3: Decompose artifact into function tree — identify what each component is supposed to do before analyzing how it can fail.

function-combination

TRIZ function analysis: function-level recombination and redistribution

function-model-construction

Build substance-field functional model of a system, annotating useful, harmful, insufficient, and excessive interactions.

function-redistribution

Redistribute functions across different components

function-trimming

Remove components while preserving function via TRIZ trimming methodology. Simplify systems by redistributing functions.

functional-analogy

Map technical functions to biological functions, find organisms solving equivalent problems. Deep functional matching across domains.

functional-model-biology

Build biological system functional model. Map energy, matter, and information flows.

future-reality-projection

Project solution effects using Future Reality Tree logic

futures-calibration

Aggregate probability judgments across perspectives using Real-Time Delphi or prediction market mechanisms.

gap-classification

Classify identified gaps using Miles 7-type taxonomy and AHRQ 4-reason framework. Determines gap type (theoretical, methodological, empirical, etc.) and root cause of gap existence.

gap-driven-generation

Generate solutions targeting specific coverage gaps — detect gaps, generate failure-driven solutions, and design factor-level experiments.

gap-keyword-extraction

Extract gap-indicating sentences and phrases from papers/reviews. Identifies linguistic markers of research gaps (e.g., "remains unclear", "has not been explored", "limited understanding").

gap-synthesis

Compile all gap analysis intermediate products into a coherent final report with executive summary, detailed findings, and research agenda.

gap-synthesis-strategy

Compile all gap analysis products into a coherent final report with evidence gap maps, research agenda, and concept matrices.

gap-typology-classification

Classify gaps using Miles 7-type taxonomy (theoretical, methodological, empirical, population, practical, knowledge void, evidence gap).

gap-validation

Validate gap authenticity via cross-database verification, temporal sensitivity testing, and false-gap filtering. Ensures gaps are genuine absences, not search artifacts.

gate-criteria-definition

Define gate criteria and pass thresholds for a specific stage in the Stage-Gate process.

gate-judgment

Evaluate a candidate against gate criteria and render GO/KILL/RECYCLE verdict with evidence.

general-morphological-analysis

Ritchey GMA: complete iterative morphological process

generate-candidate-fields

Propose 3-8 candidate research fields based on the full ActorProfile. When user wants to explore beyond their current stack, use other ActorProfile signals (intentionality, boundary) to determine exploration space. Free exploration within the boundary.

generate-research-brief

Aggregate all accumulated context from the crystallization process into a structured ResearchBrief document. This is the final output artifact alongside the North Star — a comprehensive requirement context document for downstream research strategies.

generic-space-extraction

Extract shared abstract structure from two input spaces

goal-decomposition

Structure the user's chosen direction into a formal goal tree using KAOS-style AND/OR decomposition. Validate feasibility against ActorProfile and ObstacleReport. Use after obstacle-analysis confirms the direction is viable.

governing-variable-surfacing

Apply Argyris framework to identify governing variables — the unstated rules driving behavior in a research field.

green-hat-session

Structured creative thinking in Six Hats Green Hat mode — pure creative output with judgment suspended.

groupthink-mitigation

Strategy: 10th Man Rule and Liberating Structures — institutionalized dissent to prevent premature consensus and expose suppressed objections.

heterogeneity-investigation

Explain why different studies reach different conclusions — heterogeneity investigation protocol. Budget: 30 studies, 30 effect sizes, 50 web searches.

heterogeneity-source-analysis

Identify and classify sources of between-study heterogeneity (clinical, methodological, statistical)

hierarchy-construction

Tactic for building is-a and part-of hierarchies — establish parent-child relationships, verify transitivity, detect cycles.

hmw-formulation

Generate "How Might We" questions at different scope levels (narrow, medium, broad). Ensures each is actionable without being prescriptive.

hot-start

Minimal crystallization strategy for users who already have a specific research topic or problem (e.g., "I want to improve CoT faithfulness in LLMs") and need structuring into a formal North Star. Heavily simplifies or skips exploration tactics, focusing on…

hypothesis-operationalization

Strategy: refine a working hypothesis into a precise, testable form

idea-synthesis

Synthesize diverse ideas into coherent solution concepts. Combines fragments from multiple ideation passes into structured, actionable ideas with clear mechanism descriptions.
