What problem does it solve? Research teams need a safe space to brainstorm hypotheses, alternative nulls, robustness checks, and future-paper directions without accidentally treating unverified ideas as findings or paper claims. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Speculative Idea Generation: Produces candidate hypotheses, methods, negative controls, external datasets, reviewer objections, and future paper directions. - Mandatory Labelling: Every idea is tagged with labels such as speculative, literature-needed, data-needed, contract-needed, implementation-needed, or paper-scope-risk. - Structured Output Records: Emits a JSON record per idea capturing status, evidence needed, method risks, assurance lanes, and the next routing skill. - Use Case: Before drafting a paper section, run an ideation pass to enumerate alternative explanations and robustness checks, then route surviving ideas to literature verification or task briefs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run an ideation pass on your research question and return labelled speculative hypotheses with their evidence needs.
