Before you start

  • Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
  • Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

design-falsification-test

Purpose

Specify a concrete observation, computation, intervention, counterexample, or measurement that could count against a claim.

Input contract

yaml
required: [sharp_claim, scope, candidate_observables]
optional: [cost, available_tools, competing_predictions]
constraints: [test must identify a failure condition and measurement rule]

Procedure

  1. Enumerate claim commitments and possible failure observations.
  2. Rank tests by information value and cost.
  3. Specify the cheapest decisive test with pass/fail interpretation.

If the falsification test has an executable intervention and verdict rule, consider execute-probe as the next tactic.

Output contract

yaml
produces: [falsification_test, failure_condition, measurement_plan, priority_rationale]
delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, uncertainties, decisions]

Quality gates

  • Test must be capable of producing evidence against the claim, not only confirming examples.

Failure and counterexamples

Do not design a test whose acceptance criterion is copied from the claim.
