authentic

Build and risk-screen a compact role-based method shortlist for a mathematical-modeling subquestion. Use after problem framing and data profiling, before model code generation, to propose a main candidate, a usable baseline, and at most one conditional fallback without padding the pool.

When to use

• Convert the framed problem and data profile into a small executable decision surface. Screen methods for load-bearing data, assumption, degeneracy, sensitivity, and scale risks before asking the human to choose. This skill proposes and pro…

When not to use

• Select the method or write human rationale
• Fully implement all shortlisted methods
• Invent missing data fields, constraints, or metrics
• Use fixed candidate count
• Use source-line count as validation quality
• Call a nonfunctional toy method a baseline
