IterativeDepth
Structured multi-angle exploration of the same problem to extract deeper understanding and richer ISC criteria.
Grounded in 20 established scientific techniques across cognitive science (Hermeneutic Circle, Triangulation), AI/ML (Self-Consistency, Ensemble Methods), requirements engineering (Viewpoint-Oriented RE), and design thinking (Six Thinking Hats, Causal Layered Analysis).
Core Concept
Instead of analyzing a problem once, run 2-8 structured passes through the same problem, each from a systematically different lens. Each pass surfaces requirements, edge cases, and criteria invisible from other angles. The combination yields ISC criteria that no single-pass analysis could produce.
Workflow Routing
| Trigger | Workflow |
|---|---|
| "iterative depth", "explore deeper", "multi-angle" | Workflows/Explore.md |
| "quick depth", "fast angles" | Workflows/Explore.md (Fast mode: 2 lenses) |
Quick Reference
- 8 Lenses available, scaled by SLA (2-8)
- Each lens is a structurally different exploration angle
- Output is new/refined ISC criteria per pass
- Integration point: Deeper understanding through structured multi-angle analysis
