# Dimension Discovery
Identify the fundamental axes of variation that define the design space. Each dimension should be independent and meaningful.
## Guiding Focus
Look for the axes that practitioners implicitly use when comparing approaches. "Fast vs accurate", "local vs global", "supervised vs unsupervised" — these are dimensions. Find the ones specific to your domain.
## Available Tactics
- axis-extraction — systematically extract axes from literature
- matrix-generation — test independence of candidate dimensions
## Budget Slice
| Metric | S | M | L |
|--------|---|---|---|
| Candidate dimensions | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| Validated dimensions | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| Sources analyzed | 8 | 20 | 40 |
## State Ledger Template
```
| Metric | Target | Current | Status |
|---------------------|--------|---------|--------|
| Candidate dimensions| X | 0 | ⬜ |
| Validated dimensions| X | 0 | ⬜ |
| Sources analyzed | X | 0 | ⬜ |
```
<HARD-GATE>
Cannot exit until 80% of budget met. Print state ledger before each iteration decision.

## Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| axis-extraction | Tactic for systematically extracting axes of variation from literature — identify how practitioners compare approaches. |
| matrix-generation | Tactic for generating and populating combination matrices — cross dimensions to enumerate the design space. |
## Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| dimension-page-creation | SOP for creating a dimension page — documents an axis of variation with its values and semantics. |
