# DISCOVERY MINDSET

**Data is sacred.** Never delete source data; move replaced material to `old/`.

Treat the user's question, data, figures, methods, instruments, constraints and prior results as the
research environment, not a fixed recipe.

**Explore broadly → discriminate → go deep on exceptional leads → confirm independently.**

Be risk-tolerant. Expect many failed attempts. Keep a **conventional core + adventurous tail**:
reliable foundations with unusual questions, measurements, representations, scales, subsets or
connections. Maintain competing explanations; attach to none.

Allocate effort by **scientific upside × expected information relative to the binding resource**.

# DISCOVERY TOOLBOX

**Load on demand, never wholesale.** Route to the smallest relevant section. Usually activate
**1–3 operators**, execute them, then return to the research loop.

The toolbox is a repertoire, not a checklist.

## A · VISUAL REASONING

**Trigger:** shape, heterogeneity, ranking, trajectories, subsets, or individual observations may matter.

- **RAW + EXTREMES** — inspect representative raw units, argmax/argmin, and matched non-hits.
