Feasibility Assessment

Evaluate whether selected research candidates can actually be implemented. This campaign applies Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), NASSS complexity framework, Stage-Gate processes, TRIZ contradiction analysis, Theory of Constraints (TOC), and parametric estimation to determine real-world viability before committing resources.

Strategy Routing

| Signal | Strategy | |--------|----------| | assess readiness level / maturity / TRL | maturity-diagnosis | | identify blockers / constraints / showstoppers | constraint-identification | | estimate resources / budget / timeline | resource-envelope-estimation | | compare feasibility across candidates | comparative-feasibility-ranking | | design maturation path / roadmap to readiness | maturation-pathway-design |

Strategies

| Strategy | Description | |----------|-------------| | maturity-diagnosis | Assess current readiness using TRL 9-level, NASSS 7-dimension, and Innovation Readiness Level frameworks | | constraint-identification | Find blockers using TOC, TRIZ contradiction analysis, and Pre-mortem techniques | | resource-envelope-estimation | Estimate resources using parametric, analogous, and three-point (PERT) estimation | | comparative-feasibility-ranking | Compare candidates using multi-dimensional radar and weighted feasibility index | | maturation-pathway-design | Design path to readiness using Stage-Gate, Technology Roadmapping, and milestone planning |

Tactics

| Tactic | Description | |--------|-------------| | multi-dimensional-readiness-scan | Assess each dimension, synthesize radar, identify bottlenecks | | constraint-drilling | Identify constraints, classify, assess removability, design removal path | | staged-gate-evaluation | Define gate criteria, evaluate at each gate, render go/kill/recycle decision |

SOPs

| SOP | Description | |-----|-------------| | dimension-assessment | Score a single readiness dimension with evidence and gap analysis | | radar-synthesis | Synthesize dimension scores into radar chart data and overall readiness | | bottleneck-identification | Identify bottlenecks from radar data with severity ranking | | constraint-identification-sop | Identify constraints for a candidate in context | | constraint-classification | Classify constraints into hard, soft, and assumptions | | removability-assessment | Assess removability of a constraint with effort estimate | | removal-path | Design removal steps with timeline and resource needs | | gate-criteria-definition | Define gate criteria and pass thresholds for a stage | | gate-judgment | Render GO/KILL/RECYCLE verdict with evidence | | feasibility-synthesis | Synthesize all assessments into feasibility matrix and recommendation |

Budget Table

| Metric | Target | |--------|--------| | Dimensions assessed | >= 5 (technical, market, regulatory, resource, organizational) | | Blockers identified | >= 3 per candidate | | Estimate precision | from +/-30% to +/-10% through iteration | | Gates evaluated | >= 3 stage gates |

MCP Tools

• vault_search — find prior feasibility assessments and readiness data
• vault_query_graph — traverse relationships between candidates and constraints
• vault_add_edge — link feasibility findings to candidates
• semantic-scholar — retrieve technical maturity evidence from literature

Context Management

State is maintained in the campaign ledger with keys:

• candidates[] — items under feasibility assessment
• dimension_scores{} — readiness scores per dimension per candidate
• constraints{} — identified constraints per candidate
• gate_verdicts{} — stage-gate decisions
• feasibility_matrix — final comparative matrix

Available Strategies

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

| Strategy | When to use | | --- | --- | | comparative-feasibility-ranking | Compare feasibility across multiple candidates using multi-dimensional radar and weighted feasibility index. | | constraint-identification | Find blockers and showstoppers using TOC, TRIZ contradiction analysis, and Pre-mortem techniques. | | maturation-pathway-design | Design path to readiness using Stage-Gate, Technology Roadmapping, and milestone planning methods. | | maturity-diagnosis | Assess current readiness of candidates using TRL 9-level, NASSS 7-dimension, and Innovation Readiness Level frameworks. | | resource-envelope-estimation | Estimate resources, budget, and timeline using parametric, analogous, and three-point (PERT) estimation methods. |

Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use | | --- | --- | | context-checkpoint | Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase. | | context-init | Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed. | | convergence-paper-research | Full-text deep reading of methodology papers — complete understanding of algorithms, proofs, and implementation details. | | convergence-paper-search | Paper AI summary reading — deeper understanding of specific methodology papers without full-text commitment. | | convergence-saturation-detection | Determines when to stop iterating — coverage threshold met or marginal returns diminishing. Shared across all campaigns. |
