yogsoth-ai Non-Compensatory Screening
Purpose: Eliminate non-qualifying alternatives using non-compensatory rules — failure on any critical criterion results in elimination, with no compensation from high scores on other criteria.
When to use:
- Hard constraints or safety baselines exist
- Go/no-go decisions are needed
- Need to reduce candidate set before fine-grained scoring
- Certain criteria have veto power
Budget
| Base SOP | Target | ±10% Range |
|---|---|---|
| criterion-definition | 3-5 screening criteria | 2-6 |
| threshold-setting | 1 threshold set | 1 |
| conjunctive-filter | 1 pass/fail list | 1 |
| dominance-check | 1 dominance report | 1 |

Available Tactics
- screening-then-scoring — Score survivors after screening
Available SOPs
Import
- criterion-definition
- threshold-setting
- conjunctive-filter
- dominance-check
Subagent
- (none — screening is self-contained)
Execution Guidance
- Identify hard constraint criteria (safety, compliance, budget, etc.)
- Invoke threshold-setting to define minimum thresholds for each criterion
- Invoke conjunctive-filter to execute elimination
- Optional: invoke dominance-check for further refinement
- Output survivor list for subsequent strategies
Output Format
## Screening Results
**Screening Rule:** Conjunctive rule (all criteria must be met)
**Initial Candidates:** [N]
**Survivors:** [M]
**Eliminated:** [N-M]
### Elimination Details
| Alternative | Failed Criterion | Actual Value | Threshold |
|-------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------|
### Surviving Alternatives
[List, available for subsequent fine-grained scoring]
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| screening-then-scoring | First eliminate non-qualifying candidates with non-compensatory rules, then score survivors with full MCDA methods. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| conjunctive-filter | Apply conjunctive screening rules to eliminate candidates that fail any threshold. |
| criterion-definition | Extract evaluation criteria from research goals and candidate alternatives. |
| dominance-check | Identify dominated and non-dominated alternatives in a score matrix using Pareto dominance. |
| threshold-setting | Define minimum acceptable thresholds for each criterion based on context and constraints. |
