# Failure Taxonomy

Catalog all failure modes, classify them into a taxonomy, and generate targeted solutions that address each specific failure type.

## State Ledger

| Resource | Target | Current | % |
|----------|--------|---------|---|
| web-search | 25 | 0 | 0% |
| web-research | 10 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-overview | 25 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-search | 15 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-research | 5 | 0 | 0% |

## HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| gap-driven-generation | Generate solutions from identified failure gaps |
| evaluation-filtering | Score and filter failure-targeted ideas |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| failure-mode-cataloging | Systematically catalog all failure modes |
| failure-driven-generation | Generate targeted solution per failure mode |
| coverage-gap-detection | Detect failure modes without existing solutions |
| enumeration-synthesis | Synthesize failure analysis into idea report |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Catalog**: Run failure-mode-cataloging to enumerate all failure modes
2. **Classify**: Organize failures into taxonomy (type, severity, frequency)
3. **Gap-check**: Run coverage-gap-detection to find unaddressed failures
4. **Generate**: Run failure-driven-generation for each unaddressed failure
5. **Filter**: Apply evaluation-filtering to rank solutions
6. **Synthesize**: Produce structured report via enumeration-synthesis
