# Research Architect Study Design
Translate a selected research option into an executable inquiry. Adapt the reference paper's function, never its vocabulary or unexamined assumptions.
## Inputs and blocking rule
Read:
```text
paper_output/project_config.json
paper_output/source_inventory.md
paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present
paper_output/gap_map.md
paper_output/motivation_options_after_literature.md or selected research-question option
paper_output/exemplar_logic_profile.md # when target references exist
paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md # approved when target references exist
```
Require a selected candidate and, when applicable, approved adaptation. Do not require `confirmed_research_spine.md` before preparing the design: that confirmation occurs with the design at Gate 2. Return to brainstorming or literature when no feasible candidate exists.
Read `../research-architect/references/design-family-grammars.md` and `../research-architect/references/study-design-framework.md`. Use `../research-architect/templates/study_design_brief.md` and `../research-architect/templates/study_component_registry.csv`; write the registry as `paper_output/study_component_registry.md`.
## Outputs
Prepare:
```text
paper_output/study_design_brief.md
paper_output/analysis_plan.md
paper_output/evaluation_plan.md
paper_output/study_component_registry.md
paper_output/threats_to_validity.md
```
