Use with every WinDbg plugin investigation to apply evidence-first reasoning, confidence calibration, contrarian review, structured reporting, and deterministic validation. Not a bug-family-specific triage skill.

# WinDbg Diagnostic Method

Apply this method alongside the bug-family-specific skill selected for an
investigation. Pattern matches route the investigation; they do not prove the
root cause.

## Evidence ladder

Prefer direct evidence in this order:

1. Faulting instruction/context, bugcheck or exception parameters, and resource
   owners/waiters from the actual dump or trace.
2. Matching symbols and the user's authorized source for the involved build.
3. Allocation/free, Verifier, IRP, lock, ETW, WCT, or TTD history captured for
   the same failure.
