Playbook catalog

The hypothesis engine walks 17 playbooks across 8 precedence groups. For each cluster it evaluates every playbook against the evidence predicates and emits ranked candidates — the highest-precedence match becomes the primary hypothesis the LLM narrates. This page explains exactly what fires each one and what it is allowed to recommend.

How a playbook is evaluated

Each card lists the predicate conditions a cluster's evidence must satisfy, plus the recommendation templates the playbook unlocks.

required all must be satisfied any-of at least one stronger raises confidence & can reach confirmed_issue exclusion any match → playbook skipped soft-contrary lowers the alternatives factor template allowed recommendation

Precedence groups

Groups compete in order. A later group still contributes alternates (rank ≥ 2) but won't supply the primary if an earlier group already matched. Fallback playbooks only emit when nothing else claimed the cluster.
