Hypothesis-anchored interview scripts are generated by mapping evidence-gathering questions directly to upstream business-architecture artefacts and specific assumptions. This ensures customer discovery interviews systematically validate or invalidate defined hypotheses rather than collecting anecdotal feedback.

Research synthesis captures findings from interviews and translates them into structured updates for upstream business-architecture artefacts. This process systematically validates persona assumptions and hypothesis testing results, ensuring design decisions reflect actual customer discovery evidence.

Scoping a research plan involves defining the hypothesis testing objectives, target personas, and interview methodologies before execution begins. This Skill generates structured research plans that outline validation goals and synthesis requirements for an entire customer discovery wave.

Upstream artefacts are required to generate persona validation scripts because the interview questions are hypothesis-anchored to existing business-architecture design components. Without these inputs, the script cannot systematically surface evidence for the specific assumptions being tested.

Markdown and YAML are supported dependencies for structuring research synthesis documents and interview scripts. These formats enable the generated artefacts to integrate seamlessly into existing documentation workflows and version control systems.

Validating BIZBOK design artefacts requires generating hypothesis-anchored interview scripts that surface evidence during customer discovery, followed by research synthesis to update the artefacts. This approach ensures business-architecture decisions are grounded in validated customer evidence.
