formulate-research-question

Purpose

Convert a hypothesis into a precise research question with fit-for-purpose framework, scope, feasibility, and success criteria.

Input contract

required: [hypothesis_or_gap, candidate_frameworks, feasibility_constraints]
optional: [assumptions, prior_findings, evidence_updates]
constraints: [consume named scientific objects; preserve provenance; keep unresolved uncertainty visible]

Execution protocol

Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds.
