assess-problem-wickedness

Purpose

Assess whether a problem is tame, complex, or wicked using disagreement, moving boundaries, feedback, value conflict, and stopping-rule evidence.

Input contract

required: [problem_statement, stakeholder_views]
optional: [boundary_history, feedback_observations, candidate_stopping_rule]
constraints: [classification must cite observed disagreement or stability indicators]

Procedure

1. Compare stakeholder definitions and desired outcomes. 2. Check boundary movement, feedback loops, and value conflicts. 3. Assess whether a stable stopping rule and agreed solution test exist. 4. Assign tame, complex, or wicked with evidence and uncertainty.

Output contract

produces: [wickedness_assessment, evidence_basis, workflow_implications]
delta_fields: [findings, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]

Quality gates

  • Classification covers all five dimensions; disagreement is distinguished from missing information.

Failure and counterexamples

Do not label a problem wicked solely because it is difficult or interdisciplinary.

Provenance map

  • `deep-insight/wickedness-assessment`: resolved.
