+
+# Assumption Audit Engine
+
+Systematically identify, examine, and challenge fundamental assumptions to reveal hidden constraints and generate alternative frameworks for breakthrough thinking. Transform taken-for-granted beliefs into explicit, testable hypotheses that can be validated or replaced with superior alternatives.
+
+## Audit Depth Framework
+
+### Explicit Level (Stated assumptions and declared premises)
+[Extended thinking: Surface assumptions that are openly stated but rarely questioned. These are visible premises that organizations or individuals acknowledge but don't critically examine.]
+
+**Identification Targets:**
+- **Declared Constraints**: Explicitly stated limitations that may be negotiable
+- **Policy Premises**: Organizational rules based on assumptions about efficiency or necessity
+- **Method Assumptions**: Stated beliefs about why certain approaches work best
+- **Resource Limitations**: Declared scarcity that may reflect historical rather than current reality
+- **Timeline Constraints**: Stated deadlines based on assumptions about dependencies and priorities
+
+**Audit Questions:**
+- "What explicit constraints are we stating, and why do we believe they're absolute?"
+- "Which policies exist because of assumptions that may no longer be valid?"
+- "What stated limitations might be more flexible than we assume?"
+- "Which declared 'requirements' are actually preferences or historical artifacts?"
+- "What timeline constraints are based on assumptions versus proven dependencies?"
+
+### Implicit Level (Unstated but operating assumptions)
+[Extended thinking: Uncover hidden assumptions that guide behavior and decision-making without conscious recognition. These are often the most powerful constraints because they operate below awareness.]
+
+**Identification Targets:**
+- **Cultural Defaults**: Unspoken beliefs about "how things are done" in organization or domain
+- **Success Definitions**: Unstated assumptions about what constitutes good outcomes
+- **User Behavior Models**: Hidden beliefs about how people will interact with systems
+- **Market Assumptions**: Unstated beliefs about customer needs and competitive dynamics
+- **Technology Premises**: Hidden assumptions about what's possible or practical
+
+**Audit Questions:**
+- "What behaviors do we exhibit that reveal unstated beliefs?"
+- "What are we optimizing for that we never explicitly decided to prioritize?"
+- "What user behaviors are we assuming without validation?"
+- "Which market conditions do we treat as permanent that might be temporary?"
+- "What technological limitations do we accept without questioning their necessity?"
+
+### Structural Level (Framework and methodology assumptions)
+[Extended thinking: Challenge the fundamental frameworks and methodologies being used. Question not just the content of thinking but the structure of thinking itself.]
+
+**Identification Targets:**
+- **Analytical Frameworks**: Assumed models for understanding and analysis
+- **Decision-Making Processes**: Unstated assumptions about how choices should be made
+- **Problem-Solving Approaches**: Hidden beliefs about effective methodology
+- **Measurement Systems**: Assumptions about what should be measured and how
+- **Organizational Structures**: Unstated beliefs about how work should be organized
+
+**Audit Questions:**
+- "What analytical framework are we using, and why is it the right one?"
+- "What assumptions underlie our decision-making process?"
+- "Are we solving the right problem, or just the problem we know how to solve?"
+- "What are we measuring, and what does that reveal about our assumptions?"
+- "How does our organizational structure reflect assumptions about human nature and work?"
+
+### Paradigmatic Level (Worldview and philosophical premises)
+[Extended thinking: Question fundamental worldview assumptions that shape entire approaches to problems. Challenge the deepest philosophical premises about reality, human nature, and possibility.]
+
+**Identification Targets:**
+- **Reality Models**: Basic assumptions about how the world works
+- **Human Nature Beliefs**: Fundamental assumptions about motivation, capability, and behavior
+- **Value System Premises**: Unstated beliefs about what matters most
+- **Progress Assumptions**: Hidden beliefs about development, improvement, and change
+- **Possibility Boundaries**: Assumptions about what's achievable or impossible
+
+**Audit Questions:**
+- "What fundamental beliefs about reality underlie our entire approach?"
+- "What assumptions about human nature shape our strategies?"
+- "Which values are we prioritizing without conscious choice?"
+- "What beliefs about progress and improvement guide our decisions?"
+- "What do we assume is impossible that might actually be achievable?"
+
+## Challenge Methodology Framework
+
+### Evidence Examination Protocol
+[Extended thinking: Systematically demand proof for assumptions, testing their factual foundation and empirical support.]
+
+**Evidence Validation Process:**
+1. **Source Identification**: Where did this assumption originate?
+2. **Recency Assessment**: How current is the supporting evidence?
+3. **Context Relevance**: Does evidence from other contexts apply here?
+4. **Sample Size Evaluation**: Is evidence based on sufficient data?
+5. **Alternative Explanation Testing**: What other factors might explain observed patterns?
+
+**Evidence Quality Framework:**
+- **Primary vs. Secondary**: Direct observation versus reported findings
+- **Quantitative vs. Anecdotal**: Statistical data versus individual stories
+- **Independent vs. Interested**: Unbiased sources versus stakeholder claims
+- **Recent vs. Historical**: Current conditions versus past circumstances
+- **Comprehensive vs. Limited**: Broad sampling versus narrow examples
+
+### Alternative Generation Engine
+[Extended thinking: Create competing premises and frameworks that could replace existing assumptions with potentially superior alternatives.]
+
+**Alternative Development Process:**
+1. **Assumption Inversion**: What if the opposite assumption were true?
+2. **Context Shifting**: How would this assumption change in different environments?
+3. **Stakeholder Rotation**: What would this look like from different perspectives?
+4. **Time Projection**: How might this assumption evolve with changing conditions?
+5. **Constraint Removal**: What becomes possible if we eliminate this assumption?
+
+**Alternative Categories:**
+- **Incremental Variations**: Small modifications to existing assumptions
+- **Orthogonal Approaches**: Completely different frameworks for same problem
+- **Paradigm Shifts**: Fundamental worldview changes that transform everything
+- **Hybrid Models**: Combinations of existing and alternative assumptions
+- **Future-State Projections**: Assumptions appropriate for anticipated future conditions
+
+### Edge Case Testing Framework
+[Extended thinking: Find boundary conditions and extreme scenarios where assumptions break down, revealing their limitations and appropriate scope.]
+
+**Boundary Exploration:**
+- **Scale Extremes**: What happens at very small or very large scales?
+- **Performance Limits**: At what point do assumptions cease to function?
+- **Resource Variations**: How do assumptions change with different resource levels?
+- **Context Extremes**: What conditions would make assumptions invalid?
+- **Stakeholder Diversity**: How do assumptions work for different user types?
+
+**Failure Mode Analysis:**
+- **Graceful Degradation**: How do assumptions fail when conditions change?
+- **Cascade Effects**: What happens when assumption failure affects other assumptions?
+- **Recovery Mechanisms**: How can systems adapt when assumptions prove incorrect?
+- **Warning Signals**: What indicators suggest assumption validity is declining?
+- **Alternative Activation**: How quickly can alternative assumptions be implemented?
+
+## Execution Examples
+
+### Example 1: Product Development Assumption Audit
+```bash
+assumption_audit "Our users want more features" --audit-depth=implicit --challenge-method=evidence --scope=comprehensive
+```
+
+**Implicit Assumption Identification:**
+- **Hidden Premise**: "Feature quantity correlates with user satisfaction"
+- **Unstated Belief**: "Users can effectively utilize additional complexity"
+- **Cultural Default**: "Progress means adding capabilities"
+- **Success Definition**: "Customer requests indicate true needs"
+- **User Behavior Model**: "Power users represent our core market"
+
+**Evidence Examination:**
+- **Request vs. Usage Analysis**: Do users actually use requested features?
+- **Satisfaction Correlation**: Does feature count correlate with user satisfaction scores?
+- **Competitive Analysis**: Do feature-rich competitors have higher user retention?
+- **Behavior Tracking**: How do users interact with existing feature sets?
+- **Churn Analysis**: Do users leave because of missing features or overwhelming complexity?
+
+**Alternative Framework Generation:**
+- **Alternative 1**: "Users want better execution of core features rather than new features"
+- **Alternative 2**: "Different user segments have completely different feature priorities"
+- **Alternative 3**: "Users want easier workflows, which might mean fewer, not more features"
+- **Alternative 4**: "Feature requests reflect user workarounds for poor core functionality"
+
+### Example 2: Organizational Structure Assumption Audit
+```bash
+assumption_audit "Hierarchical management improves coordination" --audit-depth=structural --challenge-method=alternative-generation --scope=organizational
+```
+
+**Structural Framework Challenge:**
+- **Management Hierarchy**: Assumes information flows efficiently up and down command chains
+- **Decision Authority**: Assumes people closest to authority make best decisions
+- **Coordination Mechanism**: Assumes central coordination prevents conflicts and duplication
+- **Accountability Structure**: Assumes clear reporting lines improve responsibility
+- **Information Flow**: Assumes managers effectively filter and distribute information
+
+**Alternative Generation Process:**
+- **Network Model**: Self-organizing teams with peer-to-peer coordination
+- **Market Model**: Internal teams compete and collaborate like external vendors
+- **Community Model**: Shared ownership and collective decision-making
+- **Platform Model**: Central infrastructure with autonomous product teams
+- **Hybrid Models**: Different structures for different types of work
+
+**Edge Case Testing:**
+- **Rapid Change**: How does hierarchy handle fast-moving, uncertain environments?
+- **Creative Work**: Does hierarchical oversight help or hinder innovation?
+- **Expert Knowledge**: How does hierarchy work when subordinates have more domain expertise?
+- **Crisis Response**: Which structure responds more effectively to emergencies?
+- **Scale Variations**: At what organizational size do different models work best?
+
+### Example 3: Technology Architecture Assumption Audit
+```bash
+assumption_audit "Microservices improve system maintainability" --audit-depth=paradigmatic --challenge-method=paradigm-shift --scope=technical
+```
+
+**Paradigmatic Challenge:**
+- **Modularity Paradigm**: Assumes breaking systems into smaller pieces improves understanding
+- **Independence Ideal**: Assumes loose coupling always improves system properties
+- **Distributed Systems Philosophy**: Assumes network-based coordination is manageable
+- **Service Ownership Model**: Assumes team boundaries should match service boundaries
+- **Technology Diversity Belief**: Assumes freedom to choose different technologies per service is beneficial
+
+**Paradigm Shift Exploration:**
+- **Monolithic Excellence**: What if we made monoliths so good that splitting them became unnecessary?
+- **Deployment-Only Microservices**: What if we kept logical modularity but deployed as single unit?
+- **Data-Centric Architecture**: What if we organized around data flows rather than service boundaries?
+- **Function-Based Systems**: What if we organized around mathematical functions rather than services?
+- **AI-Coordinated Complexity**: What if AI agents managed distributed system coordination?
+
+**Worldview Assumption Testing:**
+- **Complexity Management**: Is distributed complexity easier to manage than centralized complexity?
+- **Human Cognitive Limits**: Are service boundaries artificial constraints on human understanding?
+- **System Evolution**: Do systems naturally want to be distributed or unified?
+- **Development Team Dynamics**: Do small teams always produce better software?

+
+## Execution Examples
+
+### Example 1: Technical Consultation
+```bash
+guest_expert "machine-learning" "How should I handle class imbalance in my fraud detection model?" --expertise-depth=specialist --perspective-count=1 --style=practical
+```
+
+**Specialist ML Engineer Response:**
+"Class imbalance in fraud detection is a classic challenge I've seen in dozens of production systems. You're dealing with maybe 0.1-1% fraud cases, which creates several specific problems: your model will bias toward the majority class, precision/recall metrics become misleading, and traditional accuracy measures are worthless.
+
+Here's my systematic approach: First, don't just oversample with SMOTE - in fraud detection, synthetic samples often don't capture the subtle patterns real fraudsters use. Instead, try undersampling the majority class combined with ensemble methods like Random Forest or XGBoost that handle imbalance naturally.
+
+For evaluation, forget accuracy completely. Focus on precision-recall curves, especially precision at high recall levels - you need to catch fraud even if it means more false positives. F2-score is better than F1 because recall matters more than precision in fraud prevention.
+
+Consider cost-sensitive learning - set your class weights based on actual business impact. A missed fraud case might cost $500, while a false positive costs $2 in manual review time. Build that ratio into your model.
+
+Finally, stratify your train/validation splits by time, not randomly. Fraudsters evolve, so you need temporal validation to test real-world performance."
+
+### Example 2: Strategic Business Consultation
+```bash
+guest_expert "product-strategy" "Should we build our own analytics platform or integrate with existing solutions?" --expertise-depth=authority --perspective-count=2 --style=strategic
+```
+
+**Authority Product Strategist Response:**
+"This build-vs-buy decision touches core product strategy and I've guided dozens of companies through similar crossroads. Let me give you two perspectives that matter most:
+
+**Strategic Differentiation Lens:**
+Ask yourself: Does analytics capability create competitive differentiation for your core value proposition? If you're in fintech, healthcare, or ecommerce, analytics might be core IP that justifies building. If you're in logistics or manufacturing, analytics is likely enabling infrastructure that should be bought.
+
+I've seen companies waste 2+ years building analytics platforms that never matched Segment, Mixpanel, or Amplitude's sophistication. But I've also seen companies like Netflix or Uber whose custom analytics became core competitive advantages.
+
+**Resource Allocation Reality:**
+Building enterprise-grade analytics means 3-5 senior engineers for 12-18 months, plus ongoing maintenance. That's $1.5-3M investment that could alternatively fund 2-3 major product features that directly serve customers.
+
+**Strategic Recommendation:**
+Start with best-in-class third-party solution (Segment + Amplitude/Mixpanel). Validate that analytics drives real business decisions. If you hit platform limitations or competitive differentiation needs emerge, then consider building custom components on top of existing infrastructure.
+
+The companies that successfully build custom analytics have crystal-clear competitive advantage thesis and dedicated platform teams. For most product organizations, buying gives you analytics capability in weeks versus years, letting you focus resources on features that differentiate your core value proposition."
+
+### Example 3: Creative Domain Consultation
+```bash
+guest_expert "ux-design" "How can I improve user onboarding for a complex B2B software platform?" --expertise-depth=practitioner --perspective-count=1 --style=hands-on
+```
+
+**Senior UX Designer Response:**
+"B2B onboarding is my specialty - I've designed onboarding flows for everything from CRM platforms to enterprise security tools. Complex software creates unique challenges because users need to understand both the tool AND their workflow changes.
+
+Here's my battle-tested approach:
+
+**Progressive Disclosure Pattern**: Don't show everything at once. Start with single primary action that delivers immediate value. For project management software, that's creating their first project, not touring every feature. I use the '5-minute value' rule - users should accomplish something meaningful within 5 minutes.
+
+**Role-Based Flows**: B2B software serves different user types. Create separate onboarding paths for admins, end-users, and decision-makers. I typically design 3 distinct flows with different success criteria. Admin onboarding focuses on setup and control, end-user onboarding focuses on daily workflow, decision-maker onboarding focuses on reporting and ROI visibility.
+
+**Interactive Tutorials Over Videos**: Users learn complex software by doing, not watching. I build interactive tutorials using tools like Intro.js or Shepherd.js that overlay directly on the actual interface. Users perform real actions with their real data, not demo scenarios.
+
+**Completion Psychology**: Break onboarding into clear steps with progress indicators. I use the 'setup wizard' pattern - user information, team setup, first project, first task, first collaboration. Each step ends with a small celebration and clear next step.
+
+**Early Warning System**: Instrument everything to identify drop-off points. Users who don't complete step 3 within 48 hours get personalized outreach. I track 'activation metrics' - specific actions that predict long-term retention."
