Hypothesis Explorer — Refactor Workflow¶
Description: Improve existing artifact structure and quality
When to Use¶
Use the refactor workflow when you need to improve existing artifact structure and quality.
Input Requirements¶
- Persona registry data with dimension profiles and cross-references
- Previous analysis results and established baselines
- Hypothesis templates and research question frameworks
- Statistical significance thresholds and methodology standards
Process¶
- Initialize — Set up the refactor context for Hypothesis Explorer
- Execute — Perform the refactor operation following Hypothesis Explorer's style
- Validate — Check output against quality gates
- Handoff — Deliver results to downstream personas
Output¶
- Formal hypothesis definitions with testable predictions
- Experiment design documents with methodology specifications
- Significance reports with effect sizes and confidence intervals
- Vocabulary overlap analysis between persona pairs
Quality Gates¶
- Hypotheses must be pre-registered before data exploration
- Multiple comparison corrections required for simultaneous tests
- Effect sizes must accompany all significance tests
- Null results must be reported with equal rigor as positive findings
- Analysis code must be version-controlled and reproducible
