# Assumption Criticality

Rank assumptions by their impact on conclusions.

## Available Tactics

- assumption-perturbation

## Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** assumption-extraction, negation-definition, re-derivation, conclusion-sensitivity-measurement

## Execution Guidance

Extract assumptions, define negation for each, re-derive conclusions under negated assumption, measure how much the conclusion changes. Rank by conclusion sensitivity.
