Based on SOC occupation classification
SOP for detecting and resolving concept aliases — merge duplicate pages, redirect edges.
SOP for creating a claim page in the vault — atomic proposition with type classification, source attribution, and initial confidence.
SOP for creating a new concept page with proper frontmatter, content, and initial edges.
SOP for flagging contradictions in the causal model — identify conflicting evidence or mechanism claims.
SOP for creating a dimension page — documents an axis of variation with its values and semantics.
SOP for creating multiple edges in a batch — efficient bulk relationship creation.

Identify the fundamental axes of variation that define the design space. Each dimension should be independent and meaningful.
Look for the axes that practitioners implicitly use when comparing approaches. "Fast vs accurate", "local vs global", "supervised vs unsupervised" — these are dimensions. Find the ones specific to your domain.
