Use when evidence collection is complete for a pillar and need to extract actionable insights. Transforms raw evidence into structured synthesis with patterns and contradictions identified.
This skill transforms raw evidence objects into structured insights for a single research pillar.
02-evidence/<pillar>/Use TodoWrite to track these mandatory steps:
<required> 1. Load all evidence objects for the pillar 2. Identify patterns and themes 3. Resolve or document contradictions 4. Extract key insights 5. Generate synthesis document 6. Link insights to evidence IDs </required>Read all EV-<pillar>-*.yaml files from 02-evidence/<pillar>/.
For each evidence object, extract:
Build a working set of all claims.
Group evidence by theme:
Pattern identification:
Theme: Pricing
├── EV-market-pricing-smb-wtp (0.75) - SMB WTP $29
├── EV-market-pricing-enterprise-wtp (0.80) - Enterprise WTP $99
└── EV-competitors-pricing-benchmark (0.70) - Market avg $45
Insight: Pricing flexibility needed for multi-segment
For contradictory evidence:
### Contradiction: User Segment Priority
**EV-users-segment-power-users** (0.70): Power users drive retention
**EV-users-segment-casual** (0.65): Casual users drive growth
**Resolution:** Unresolved. Both valid for different goals.
**Recommendation:** Requires explicit decision (DEC-*)
For each theme, formulate 1-3 key insights:
