Dgm Research Positioning

Workflow

1. Read the strongest available literature notes first. In this repo, start with the most synthetic notes before reading section drafts.
2. Extract only four things:
   • what the literature supports clearly
   • what the literature suggests but does not settle
   • what the paper can safely claim as a gap
   • what should remain a working hypothesis
3. Produce positioning with clear boundaries:
   • problem framing
   • why the problem is hard
   • why current approaches are insufficient
   • candidate research gap
   • strongest and weakest thesis versions
4. End with paper-useful outputs:
   • candidate contribution statements
   • candidate titles

Preferred structure

When creating a positioning note, prefer this order:

• Problem framing
• Why the target decision problem is hard
• Why current AI support is insufficient
• Candidate research gap
• Competing framings of the gap
• Strongest version of the thesis
• Weakest / most defensible version of the thesis
• What would count as evidence
• What would count as non-evidence
• Candidate contribution statements
• Candidate titles

Repository-specific guidance

• Keep terminology stable with the paper's method language:
  • scenario memory
  • decision episode
  • decision-grade context
  • graph-based business memory
• Align with the repo's academic writing discipline in AGENTS.md.
• If the positioning materially changes, add one concise follow-up item to docs/todo.md.
