SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Polymath Engine coordinates research-first exploration with gap detection and decision support to reduce ambiguity and accelerate structured outcomes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Research-first exploration: detects knowledge gaps, organizes structured choices, and produces crystallized outputs.
  • Gap detection and decision support: guides teams through clarifying questions and responsible trade-offs.
  • Crystallization: delivers a clear exploration summary that can feed next phases of the Legion workflow.

Quick Start

Initiate the Polymath engine in an exploration by asking for a guided onboarding and choose exploration options to begin crystallization.

FAQPage Schema
What is structured exploration and how does it reduce ambiguity in complex problems?

Structured exploration reduces ambiguity by applying research-first clarification to detect knowledge gaps and organize choices. It uses guided onboarding and crystallization outputs to accelerate decision-making in complex problems.

How do I start guided exploration for structured decisions?

To start guided exploration, initiate the engine and request a guided onboarding. You then choose exploration options to begin the crystallization process and generate planning documents.

Can I use gap detection for team decision support workflows?

Yes, gap detection supports team workflows by guiding members through clarifying questions and managing responsible trade-offs. It structures choices to ensure comprehensive decision support.

What is the best way to manage knowledge checks during problem exploration?

The best way to manage knowledge checks is using an exploration engine with DPO-inspired debate scoring. This protocol evaluates exchanges to detect gaps and clarify understanding across multiple phases.

What artifacts does an exploration workflow produce?

An exploration workflow produces crystallized artifacts including exploration summaries and planning documents. These outputs feed directly into the next phases of structured decision workflows.

When should I not use a polymath approach for exploration?

You should avoid this polymath approach for simple, well-defined tasks that lack ambiguity. It is designed for complex problems requiring multi-phase gap detection and trade-off management.
