# Strategy: Assumption Constraint
## Methodology
Systematic assumption vulnerability analysis:
- **Extraction**: Surface all implicit and explicit assumptions
- **Scoring**: Quantify vulnerability (confidence × evidence / testability)
- **Impact assessment**: Blast radius × recovery cost
- **Prioritization**: Vulnerability × Impact = Priority
- **Validation planning**: Cheapest test that resolves uncertainty
Assumption categories:
| Category | Examples |
|----------|----------|
| Technical | Method convergence, architecture suitability |
| Data | Availability, quality, representativeness |
| Resource | Sufficiency of compute, time, expertise |
| Environmental | Tool stability, API access, policy |
| Theoretical | Effect existence, measurability, magnitude |
## Execution Flow
1. **Challenge Assumptions** → call `assumption-challenging` SOP
- Input: experiment plan, hypothesis
- Output: assumption inventory with validity assessment
2. **Quantify Validation Cost** → call `resource-quantification` SOP
- Input: validation experiments for top assumptions
- Output: cost to validate each assumption
3. **Rank Sensitivity** → invoke `sensitivity-ranking` tactic
- Determine which assumptions are most binding
4. **Report** → synthesize vulnerability assessment
- Top-5 fragile assumptions with validation paths
- Binding assumption constraint identification
## Budget Gate
| Resource | Budget | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|
| Subagent calls | ≤5 | 2 SOPs + synthesis |
| Iterations | ≤2 | Re-rank if new assumptions surface |
| Output size | ≤3000 tokens | Ranked table + validation plan |
