yogsoth-ai Domain Scoping
Define the boundaries of the ontology. What's in scope, what's out, what are the seed concepts that anchor the domain.
Guiding Focus
Establish clear boundaries before extraction begins. An unbounded ontology grows without purpose. Seed concepts define the center of gravity; scope constraints define the edges.
Available Tactics
- concept-decomposition — break broad domains into tractable sub-areas
- hierarchy-construction — establish initial top-level categories
Budget Slice
| Metric | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed concepts identified | 5 | 10 | 20 |
| Scope boundaries defined | 3 | 5 | 8 |
| Source pages surveyed | 5 | 15 | 30 |
State Ledger Template
| Metric | Target | Current | Status |

| Sources surveyed | X | 0 | ⬜ |
Adversarial Completeness Probe
After budget gate passes, ask:
- Are there obvious sub-domains I haven't considered?
- Would an expert in this field agree with my scope boundaries?
- Are my seed concepts truly central, or peripheral?
Max 2 extra iterations if gaps found.
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| concept-decomposition | Tactic for breaking compound concepts into atomic parts — split over-broad concepts, identify sub-components, create child pages. |
| hierarchy-construction | Tactic for building is-a and part-of hierarchies — establish parent-child relationships, verify transitivity, detect cycles. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| seed-concept-search | SOP for finding seed concepts in existing vault and web sources to anchor ontology construction. |
