hypothesis

name: hypothesis description: Generate grounded hypothesis table, grounding trace, and model map for quant manuscripts

hypothesis

Purpose

Generate typed, grounded hypotheses for quantitative manuscripts with explicit traces to literature gaps, contribution claims, and model constructs.

Inputs

• gap_summary
• contribution_claims
• model_constructs
• analysis_findings

Outputs

• hypothesis_table
• hypothesis_grounding_trace
• hypothesis_model_map

Constraints

• None

Process Steps

• Resolve active profile overlays and confirm a quant method family
• Parse gaps, claims, and constructs into typed components
• Generate candidate hypotheses anchored to gaps and claims
• Build grounding trace and model map artifacts
• Apply hypothesis-grounding checks and annotate analysis findings when available

Failure Handling

• If the method family is not quant, warn and recommend a more suitable workflow
• If gap summary is missing, request literature synthesis output and pause
• If constructs are missing, produce placeholders and mark them clearly
