SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured, multiagent protocol to validate a research gap by rigorously testing its novelty, feasibility, supporting evidence, and significance through staged critic/defender/judge interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven debate protocol with eight structured C→D steps (C1–D4)
  • Clear roles: debate_critic, debate_defender, debate_judge
  • Collaborative scoring and transcript generation for auditability
  • End-to-end governance to ensure gaps meet criteria before pursuit
  • Generates a final verdict and full transcript for documentation

Quick Start

Run the Debate Gap SOP against a target gap JSON to obtain a structured verdict and transcript.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a research gap before starting a study?

You can validate a research gap by running a structured multiagent debate protocol that tests novelty, feasibility, supporting evidence, and significance through staged critic, defender, and judge interactions.

What is a multiagent debate protocol for gap validation?

A multiagent debate protocol for gap validation is an eight-step structured process where assigned critic, defender, and judge agents rigorously assess a research gap and produce a final verdict with a full transcript.

How do I assess research gap novelty and feasibility systematically?

You assess research gap novelty and feasibility by applying a structured critic and defender interaction protocol that challenges the gap's core criteria and outputs a final governing verdict.

Can I audit the evidence assessment process for a research gap?

Yes, the debate protocol generates a complete collaborative transcript alongside the final verdict, ensuring full auditability of the evidence and significance assessments for your research gap.

What do I need to run an automated research gap validation SOP?

You need a target gap JSON representing your identified scholarly research gap, which the protocol processes through phase-specific agent calls to deliver a structured verdict and documentation.

Are there limitations to using a debate protocol for research gap validation?

The protocol is specifically designed for gaps identified in scholarly literature, so it may not suit informal hypotheses or non-academic problem spaces lacking structured evidence and significance criteria.
