Assumption Audit

Systematically audit assumptions underlying a method, theory, or gap.

When to Use

Need to identify which hidden assumptions are most dangerous — load-bearing yet unexamined.

Available Tactics

• assumption-stress-test

Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research **Subagent:** abp-vulnerability-classification, clr-validation **Shared:** assumption-surfacing

Execution Guidance

Surface all assumptions (shared SOP), classify by vulnerability (ABP), validate causal logic (CLR 8-check). Focus on load-bearing + non-explicit assumptions.

Output Format

Assumption Audit Report — assumption inventory, vulnerability matrix, CLR validation results, priority list for challenging.

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| Tactic | When to use | | --- | --- | | assumption-stress-test | Systematic stress testing of assumptions — surface, classify by vulnerability, attack, assess fragility. Combines assumption-surfacing (shared), abp-vulnerability-classification, and clr-validation SOPs. |

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use | | --- | --- | | abp-vulnerability-classification | Classify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant. | | clr-validation | Apply Goldratt's 8 Categories of Legitimate Reservation to validate causal claims. Tests clarity, existence, sufficiency, and logical integrity. | | deep-insight-assumption-surfacing | Systematically extract implicit assumptions from methods, frameworks, or arguments. Identifies what is taken for granted without explicit justification. |
