Dimension Discovery

Identify the fundamental axes of variation that define the design space. Each dimension should be independent and meaningful.

Guiding Focus

Look for the axes that practitioners implicitly use when comparing approaches. "Fast vs accurate", "local vs global", "supervised vs unsupervised" — these are dimensions. Find the ones specific to your domain.

Available Tactics

  • axis-extraction — systematically extract axes from literature
  • matrix-generation — test independence of candidate dimensions
