name	assumption-audit
description	Surface all assumptions, classify by vulnerability (load-bearing × likely-false), validate causal logic. Focus on dangerous assumptions — high load-bearing + non-explicit.

Assumption Audit

Systematically audit assumptions underlying a method, theory, or gap.

When to Use

Need to identify which hidden assumptions are most dangerous — load-bearing yet unexamined.

Available SOPs

Import: web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research Subagent: abp-vulnerability-classification, clr-validation Shared: assumption-surfacing

Execution Guidance

Surface all assumptions (shared SOP), classify by vulnerability (ABP), validate causal logic (CLR 8-check). Focus on load-bearing + non-explicit assumptions.

Output Format

Assumption Audit Report — assumption inventory, vulnerability matrix, CLR validation results, priority list for challenging.

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
assumption-stress-test	Systematic stress testing of assumptions — surface, classify by vulnerability, attack, assess fragility. Combines assumption-surfacing (shared), abp-vulnerability-classification, and clr-validation SOPs.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
abp-vulnerability-classification	Classify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant.
clr-validation	Apply Goldratt's 8 Categories of Legitimate Reservation to validate causal claims. Tests clarity, existence, sufficiency, and logical integrity.
deep-insight-assumption-surfacing	Systematically extract implicit assumptions from methods, frameworks, or arguments. Identifies what is taken for granted without explicit justification.
