# classify-assumption-vulnerability
## Purpose
Classify assumptions by load-bearing importance and vulnerability to determine which require stress testing.
## Input contract
```yaml
required: [assumption_register, dependent_claims]
optional: [evidence_strength, perturbation_bounds]
constraints: [importance and vulnerability must be scored or categorized separately]
```
## Procedure
1. Link each assumption to the claims or causal edges it supports.
2. Assess consequence of failure and current evidential support.
3. Assign vulnerability class and prioritize assumptions for challenge.
## Output contract
```yaml
produces: [vulnerability_map, load_bearing_rank, challenge_queue]
delta_fields: [findings, assumption_updates, uncertainties, decisions]
```
## Quality gates
- No assumption is ranked without a dependent claim and an evidence-status note.
## Failure and counterexamples
Mark vulnerability unknown when consequence or support cannot be assessed; do not silently assign low risk.
