# hypothesis-observation-review
Goal:
- Evaluate a hypothesis against prior observations.
Inputs:
- `research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json`
- `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json`
- optional review guidance from prior review artifacts
Outputs:
- `hypotheses/<id>/REVIEW/OBSERVATION_REVIEW.json`
Context Loading:
- Read `research_plan/RESEARCH_PLAN.json`.
- Read `hypotheses/<id>/HYPOTHESIS.json`.
- Use the current hypothesis mechanism and predictions as the reference point for comparing against known observations.
- If prior reviews exist, use them only to focus attention on disputed claims.
Execution Prompt Contract:
- System Intent:
- You are evaluating whether the hypothesis meaningfully explains relevant observations.
- Required Reasoning Focus:
- Look for observations that are causally relevant to the hypothesis domain.
- Judge whether the hypothesis explains them, adds nothing, is contradicted by them, or is less plausible than existing explanations.
- Prefer causal explanatory value over loose topical overlap.
- Do Not Do:
- Do not list observations that have no material connection to the hypothesis.
- Do not treat generic correlation as causal support.
- Do not emit free-form prose instead of structured observation entries.
- Review Quality Floor:
- A `status = completed` observation review must include concrete observations or retrieval results that are materially connected to the hypothesis mechanism or predicted behavior.
- Each observation must exp
