Axis Extraction

Systematically extract axes of variation from literature. Look for how authors compare methods, what trade-offs they discuss, what design choices they highlight.

Available SOPs

  • dimension-page-creation — create pages for identified dimensions
  • axis-validation — verify axes are independent and meaningful
  • wiki-search — check for existing dimension coverage

Guiding Principles

  • Comparison reveals axes. When authors say "method A is X while method B is Y", X-Y is likely a dimension.
  • Trade-offs are dimensions. "You can have speed or accuracy" reveals the speed-accuracy dimension.
  • Taxonomies are pre-built axes. Existing classifications in the field are validated dimensions.
  • Independence test. If changing one axis always changes another, they're not independent.
