Expose hidden system boundaries and excluded perspectives.

Operations

  • csh-12-question — 4 dimensions × 3 questions, is vs ought
  • jtbd-mapping — stakeholder jobs-to-be-done
  • salience-classification — power/legitimacy/urgency classification

Available SOPs

Subagent: csh-12-question, jtbd-mapping, salience-classification Shared: multi-stakeholder-simulation

Execution Guidance

Apply CSH 12 questions (4 dimensions × 3 questions, is vs ought). Map stakeholder jobs. Classify by salience model. Identify who is systematically excluded from the current framing.

Minimum Yield

<HARD-GATE>
- CSH matrix: >= 1 completed
- stakeholders mapped: >= 4
- salience classifications: >= 4
- excluded perspectives identified: >= 1
</HARD-GATE>

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
