Feasibility Assessment

Evaluate whether selected research candidates can actually be implemented. This campaign applies Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), NASSS complexity framework, Stage-Gate processes, TRIZ contradiction analysis, Theory of Constraints (TOC), and parametric estimation to determine real-world viability before committing resources.

Strategy Routing

Signal	Strategy
assess readiness level / maturity / TRL	maturity-diagnosis
identify blockers / constraints / showstoppers	constraint-identification
estimate resources / budget / timeline	resource-envelope-estimation
compare feasibility across candidates	comparative-feasibility-ranking
design maturation path / roadmap to readiness	maturation-pathway-design

Manifest

Strategies

Strategy	Description
maturity-diagnosis	Assess current readiness using TRL 9-level, NASSS 7-dimension, and Innovation Readiness Level frameworks
constraint-identification	Find blockers using TOC, TRIZ contradiction analysis, and Pre-mortem techniques
resource-envelope-estimation	Estimate resources using parametric, analogous, and three-point (PERT) estimation
comparative-feasibility-ranking	Compare candidates using multi-dimensional radar and weighted feasibility index
maturation-pathway-design	Design path to readiness using Stage-Gate, Technology Roadmapping, and milestone planning

Tactics

Tactic	Description
multi-dimensional-readiness-scan	Assess each dimension, synthesize radar, identify bottlenecks
constraint-drilling	Identify constraints, classify, assess removability, design removal path
staged-gate-evaluation	Define gate criteria, evaluate at each gate, render go/kill/recycle decision

SOPs

SOP	Description
dimension-assessment	Score a single readiness dimension with evidence and gap analysis
radar-synthesis	Synthesize dimension scores into radar chart data and overall readiness
bottleneck-identification	Identify bottlenecks from radar data with severity ranking
constraint-identification-sop	Identify constraints for a candidate in context
constraint-classification	Classify constraints into hard, soft, and assumptions
removability-assessment	Assess removability of a constraint with effort estimate
removal-path	Design removal steps with timeline and resource needs
gate-criteria-definition	Define gate criteria and pass thresholds for a stage
gate-judgment	Render GO/KILL/RECYCLE verdict with evidence
feasibility-synthesis	Synthesize all assessments into feasibility matrix and recommendation

Budget Table

Metric	Target
Dimensions assessed	>= 5 (technical, market, regulatory, resource, organizational)
Blockers identified	>= 3 per candidate
Estimate precision	from +/-30% to +/-10% through iteration
Gates evaluated	>= 3 stage gates

MCP Tools

• vault_search — find prior feasibility assessments and readiness data
• vault_query_graph — traverse relationships between candidates and constraints
• vault_add_edge — link feasibility findings to candidates
• semantic-scholar — retrieve technical maturity evidence from literature

Context Management

State is maintained in the campaign ledger with keys:

• candidates[] — items under feasibility assessment
• dimension_scores{} — readiness scores per dimension per candidate
• constraints{} — identified constraints per candidate
• gate_verdicts{} — stage-gate decisions
• feasibility_matrix — final comparative matrix

Available Strategies

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

Strategy	When to use
comparative-feasibility-ranking	Compare feasibility across multiple candidates using multi-dimensional radar and weighted feasibility index.
constraint-identification	Find blockers and showstoppers using TOC, TRIZ contradiction analysis, and Pre-mortem techniques.
maturation-pathway-design	Design path to readiness using Stage-Gate, Technology Roadmapping, and milestone planning methods.
maturity-diagnosis	Assess current readiness of candidates using TRL 9-level, NASSS 7-dimension, and Innovation Readiness Level frameworks.
resource-envelope-estimation	Estimate resources, budget, and timeline using parametric, analogous, and three-point (PERT) estimation methods.

Available SOPs

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

SOP	When to use
context-checkpoint	Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase.
context-init	Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed.
convergence-paper-research	Full-text deep reading of methodology papers — complete understanding of algorithms, proofs, and implementation details.
convergence-paper-search	Paper AI summary reading — deeper understanding of specific methodology papers without full-text commitment.
convergence-saturation-detection	Determines when to stop iterating — coverage threshold met or marginal returns diminishing. Shared across all campaigns.
