Available Tactics
- multi-model-convergence
Available SOPs
Import: web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research Subagent: assumption-enumeration, alternative-model-generation, convergence-assessment, fragility-flagging
Execution Guidance
Enumerate modeling assumptions, generate alternative models by relaxing each, compare results across alternatives, flag results that depend on specific assumptions (fragile).
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| multi-model-convergence | Wimsatt-style multi-method cross-validation — enumerate assumptions, generate alternative models, compare results, flag divergences. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| alternative-model-generation | Generate alternative model formulations by relaxing, replacing, or generalizing specific assumptions. |
| convergence-assessment | Compare results across multiple model variants — quantitative agreement metrics and qualitative conclusion stability. |
| deep-insight-assumption-enumeration | Systematically identify all assumptions in a method/model — structural, parametric, distributional, and scope assumptions. |
| fragility-flagging | Identify which specific assumption changes cause conclusion divergence. Rates fragility severity and plausibility of alternatives. |
