AutoAcad Ideate
Overview
Use this stage after literature synthesis and before committing to implementation. The goal is to produce falsifiable claims, not vague novelty language.
Workflow
- Translate literature gaps into 2-4 prioritized research questions.
- Generate falsifiable hypotheses. Each hypothesis must define: rationale, measurable prediction, and failure condition.
- Pressure-test the contribution shape:
- What is the 1-2 idea core?
- Which claim requires the strongest evidence?
- Which claim can be dropped if evidence is weak?
- Decide whether the work is a refine, a pivot, or a dead end.
- Record the chosen claim set and version it in
PROGRESS.md.
Output Standard
Every proposed contribution must map to at least one planned experiment and one section of the paper.
