Extract — "What do we NOT see?"

Mindset: Analyst. You have the raw findings. Now build structure. Make combinations visible that nobody proposed. Test: "Does my configuration space reveal at least one combination that nobody proposed in the Briefing?" Parent: HL-{PREFIX}-{N} Goal: {from HL §1 Vision — one sentence}

Configuration Space

Build the full solution space by cross-referencing Gather's dimensions. Use the same dimension names as column headers.

Do NOT evaluate yet — list all combinations that are not obviously contradictory.

Config {D1 from Gather} {D2 from Gather} {D3 from Gather}
C1 {Alt} {Alt} {Alt}
C2 {Alt} {Alt} {Alt}
C3 {Alt} {Alt} {Alt}

If >30 combinations: list only configurations where ≥1 dimension differs from the first row's alternatives. Example: if C1 = (A, A, A), then only keep rows where at least one column is not A.

If Gather used a comparison matrix (fewer than 3 dimensions): replace this table with a structured comparison of the options identified in Gather.

Sufficiency: - [ ] External source used? - [ ] Briefing gap closed? - [ ] Configuration Space built from Gather dimensions?
