Input expectations

Consented, minimized research notes and study scope

Candidate needs and consent constraints

Agreed scope and known dependency constraints

Candidate backlog and confirmed prerequisite records

Output expectations

Prioritized recommendations for synthesize user needs, plan need validation, prepare a delivery backlog, review delivery dependencies

Criterion-linked evaluation rationale, unresolved dependencies and human decisions

Evidence standards

Reference each managed Work Type criterion and evidence expectation when evaluating the result.

Preserve contradictions, unmet criteria and evidence limitations; Worker assertions do not independently establish completion.

Tool requirements

Management records: Read authorized user need discovery context and prepare reviewable artifacts; no connector is provided by this definition. Access is not granted.

Authority recommendations

Recommend: recommendation only. Only explicitly authorized user need discovery context. This template grants no permission, spending, deployment or external communication.

Review evidence: requires explicit organizational authority. Only explicitly authorized user need discovery context. This template grants no permission, spending, deployment or external communication.

Assign approved work: requires explicit organizational authority. Only explicitly authorized user need discovery context. This template grants no permission, spending, deployment or external communication.

When to escalate

Authority exceeded: Requested action exceeds explicit organizational grants or approved scope. Stop and request human review.

Insufficient evidence: Evidence cannot support the relevant Work criteria; do not accept a completion claim. Stop and request human review.

Missing information: Required consented, minimized research notes and study scope is unavailable or contradictory. Stop and request human review.

Human judgment: A biased sample can misrepresent the user population. Stop and request human review.

Evaluation requirements

Acceptance: Count independent accepted and non-accepted evaluations for linked Work Types with attempts as the denominator; do not infer competence from this template.

Evidence sufficiency: Assess coverage against each linked Work Type success criterion and evidence expectation.

Cost: Report actual attributed model cost when available, separating missing data and estimates; no assumed savings.

Execution characteristics

Schema-valid structured output with explicit uncertainty

Traceable comparison of supplied context against user need discovery criteria
