Questioning method

Read workflow for question presentation and authorization.

1. Read the request, prior answers and available evidence. Map decisions and their prerequisites. Research factual questions directly rather than asking the user to retrieve facts available to you.
2. Identify the current frontier: decisions whose prerequisites are already settled. Ask those together in a wave. Each question addresses one behavior, property or outcome in a concrete situation and includes the context needed to choose. Offer a recommendation where the tradeoffs are known.
3. Wait for all answers and read free-text qualifications. A question depending on another open answer belongs to the next wave. Treat corrections as changes to the decision tree rather than exceptions to an earlier plan.
4. Apply intent context when recording confirmed requests and corrections. Record other settled answers in their owning artifact when authorized, distinguishing the user's statements from interpretation. Recompute the frontier and research any facts now needed.
5. Present the resulting understanding when no material question remains. Obtain confirmation before treating that understanding as settled. Clarification establishes the outcome; implementation has its own approval.
