Handles a by-name request for QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis), the truth-table-and-Boolean-minimization method, honestly. At session scale the input almost never exists and the method certifies configurations from noise, so this skill does NOT build the truth table as if valid. It leads with that evidence, then routes to the evidence-based move the job actually needs (think-reference-class-forecasting for a set of comparable cases, or think-process-tracing for a single case). Use only…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) QCA codes comparable cases into a truth table and uses Boolean minimization to find which combinations of conditions are necessary or sufficient for an outcome. It is a real, published research method for medium-N comparative projects, and it does not fit a single-reasoner session: the input it needs (10 to 50 deeply-known comparable cases, calibrated on shared conditions) almost never exists, and at exactly the casual scale a session can muster, the simulation literature shows it certifies configurations from noise. This skill therefore does not build the truth table as if valid. It owns the request, leads with what the controlled-simulation evidence shows, and routes you to the evidence-based move your actual job needs. The output is an honest redirect brief, not a truth table with minimized configurations. ## Before you run this: what the evidence shows …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-qualitative-comparative-analysis@sha256:edbafecf63d9f60eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
