Competing Hypotheses

Debug problems by racing multiple theories in parallel. Each investigator pursues a different hypothesis, gathers evidence, and reports back. The lead compares findings to identify the root cause.

When to Use

• "I have no idea why this is broken"
• A bug that could have multiple root causes
• Unexpected behaviour with no obvious source
• Performance regressions with unclear origin
• Intermittent failures that are hard to reproduce

Instructions

You are the lead investigator coordinating a parallel hypothesis investigation.
