objective-definition

Define optimization objectives, constraints, and trade-off preferences from context and candidate information.

obstacle-analysis

Identify what blocks the user from pursuing their chosen direction, assess severity, propose mitigations with search-validated evidence, and get user acceptance. Use after direction-narrowing has identified a specific direction.

obstacle-identification

TOC Prerequisite Tree — list obstacles preventing direct achievement of the objective

occurrence-scoring

Rate failure mode occurrence probability 1-10. Estimates how likely each failure mode is to manifest during research execution.

ontology-refinement

Strategy for iterative ontology improvement — merge duplicates, fill gaps, update confidence, prune dead branches.

optimization-run

Execute multi-objective optimization on candidates to produce a Pareto front of non-dominated solutions.

organism-discovery

Find organisms solving similar problems. Search across kingdoms for biological champions.

pair-selector

Select the next comparison pairs that maximize information gain given current ratings and comparison history.

pairwise-comparison

Tactic: rank gaps through relative comparison rather than absolute scoring, suited to hard-to-quantify situations

pairwise-synthesis

Compare two methods across multiple studies — paired meta-analysis protocol design. Budget: 30 studies, 30 effect sizes, 40 web searches.

parameter-enumeration

Enumerate possible values for each uncertainty driver using MECE principles

parameter-identification

Identify the key parameters/dimensions of a problem space. Produces a structured parameter list with value ranges for morphological analysis.

parameter-screening

Quick Morris method screening to identify which parameters have large effects and which can be safely ignored.

parameter-space-construction

Orchestrates driver identification and parameter enumeration to build the complete morphological field

parameter-space-mapping

Identify all parameter dimensions along which a claim's validity might vary.

parameter-variation

Systematic one-factor-at-a-time parameter sweep

pareto-frontier-construction

Build the Pareto frontier from multi-objective optimization, visualize trade-offs, and select a portfolio from non-dominated solutions.

pareto-visualization

Create visual representation of the Pareto frontier showing trade-offs between objectives with narrative explanation.

patent-categorization

Classify patents by tech subdomain, application scenario, and value chain position

patent-family-tracing

Forward/backward patent citation and priority tracing until saturation

patent-query-formulation

Construct keyword + IPC/CPC + assignee combination search strategies for patent databases

patent-synthesis

Produce final structured patent intelligence report from all analysis results

path-generation

Generate combination paths through consistent space

performance-extraction

Systematically extract performance data and conditions from papers — 30 methods, 150 data points, 40 web searches budget

persona-construction

Build a detailed adversarial persona with background, motivation, expertise, blind spots, and preferred attack patterns.

personal-analogy

Empathic identification — become the system/component. First-person embodiment to discover hidden constraints and opportunities.

personal-identification

First-person empathic identification with a system or component. Produces experience description and design insights from embodiment.

perspective-assignment

Define distinct stakeholder or analytical perspectives with their values, concerns, and evaluation criteria.

perspective-attack

Attack a decision from a specific assigned perspective, producing rated arguments and constructive alternatives.

perspective-critic

Evaluates artifact from a specific assigned perspective. Produces assessment grounded in that viewpoint's values, priorities, and expertise.

perspective-synthesis

Synthesize all perspective outputs into a structured multi-perspective idea report.

pico-formulation

Construct PICO/PECO framework for the meta-analysis research question

po-provocation

Generate PO (Provocative Operation) statements per de Bono's lateral thinking. Creates deliberately illogical provocations to escape dominant thinking patterns.

polarity-mapping

Map unresolvable tensions as Johnson polarities — 4 quadrants (positive/negative of each pole), early warnings, action steps for managing rather than solving.

portfolio-evaluation-per-scenario

Evaluate a specific portfolio's performance metrics and vulnerabilities under a given scenario.

portfolio-synthesis

Synthesize all per-scenario evaluations into a final portfolio recommendation with robustness score and actionable guidance.

practitioner-hat

Engineer perspective — assess buildability, cost, timeline, and integration challenges.

premortem-facilitation

Execute Klein pre-mortem protocol — assume failure has occurred, generate plausible failure scenarios through prospective hindsight.

premortem-to-fmea-pipeline

Tactic: Pre-mortem rapid screening feeds high-risk items into full FMEA analysis. Bridges fast intuitive generation with systematic structured analysis.

prerequisite-planning

Identify obstacles blocking direct achievement and design intermediate objectives to overcome each
