# Robustness Testing

Test whether conclusions survive across different modeling choices.

## Budget

| web-research | 10 | 9–11 |
| paper-overview | 30 | 27–33 |
| paper-search | 25 | 22–28 |
| paper-research | 15 | 13–17 |

## Available Tactics

- multi-model-convergence

## Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** assumption-enumeration, alternative-model-generation, convergence-assessment, fragility-flagging

## Execution Guidance

Enumerate modeling assumptions, generate alternative models by relaxing each, compare results across alternatives, flag results that depend on specific assumptions (fragile).
