Assumptions are recorded so they can be attacked.
Structured techniques, explicit assumptions and recorded challenge findings.
How it works
Analysts record the techniques applied, state assumptions explicitly, and run structured challenge sessions. Findings are retained against the analysis and pinned as evidence in the resulting product, so a reader sees the method as well as the conclusion.
Boundaries
Applying a technique does not validate a judgement. Unresolved disagreement stays visible on the record rather than being resolved by seniority.
