Ablation Brainstorm
Systematically remove components from a system one by one, observe what changes, and use the resulting insights to generate novel ideas.

HARD-GATE
Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.
Available Tactics
| Tactic | Role |
|---|
| coverage-analysis | Ensure all components are ablated |
| evaluation-filtering | Score and filter ablation-derived ideas |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|
| ablation-execution | Remove components one by one, record responses |
| dependency-identification | Extract dependency graph from ablation results |
| enumeration-synthesis | Synthesize ablation insights into idea report |
Execution Guidance
- Decompose: List all components of the target system
- Ablate: Run ablation-execution — remove each component, record effects
- Analyze: Run dependency-identification to find critical dependencies
- Ideate: For each critical dependency, ask "what if this were replaced/eliminated/redesigned?"
- Filter: Apply evaluation-filtering to rank generated ideas
- Synthesize: Produce structured report via enumeration-synthesis
