Hypothesis Generation

Generate and rigorously evaluate novel research hypotheses.

Process

Step 1 — Problem Framing

Clarify the research context:

• What phenomenon is being investigated?
• What is already known? (Ask the user to provide key papers or summarize the state of the field.)
• What surprising or unexplained observation prompted this inquiry?

Step 2 — Generate Candidate Hypotheses

Produce 3–5 distinct hypotheses. For each:

• State it as a precise, falsifiable claim.
• Identify the underlying mechanism or assumption.
• Describe a minimal experiment that would confirm or refute it.
