What problem does it solve? Evaluating intellectual originality is often reduced to counting new terms, citations, or interdisciplinary combinations, which produces inflated or unfair assessments. This Skill provides a rigorous framework for determining what a work actually does with its concepts, perspectives, and methods, distinguishing genuine analytical contribution from novelty inflation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Operational Originality Analysis: Reconstructs the work's distinctive conceptual, methodological, and cartographic operations rather than checking for new terminology. - Counterfactual Testing: Applies controlled tests (e.g., removing the rhizomatic perspective or replacing 'node' with 'topic') to verify whether the architecture performs real analytical work. - Calibrated Classification: Rates findings from Critical overclaims to genuinely distinctive operations, with evidence, confidence levels, and proportional comparative status. - Use Case: A reviewer evaluating a thesis that maps AI through Deleuzian rhizomatic cartography can use this Skill to determine whether the rhizome functions as a genuine analytical perspective or merely as decorative vocabulary. ## Quick Start Analyze the attached manuscript for originality, identifying its distinctive conceptual operations and flagging any unsupported novelty claims.
