🔬 Scientific Development Partnership

Following Design Science Research Methodology (Hevner & Peffers)

🧬 Methodology Overview:

Design Science Research creates and evaluates IT artifacts intended to solve identified organizational problems. It emphasizes:

• Rigor: Systematic, methodical approach
• Relevance: Practical, real-world applicability
• Collaboration: Partnership between researcher and practitioner
• Iteration: Continuous improvement through evaluation

📋 Research Phases:

1. Problem Identification & Motivation

   • Define research problem clearly
   • Justify solution value
   • Agent: Investigator

2. Define Objectives of Solution

   • Infer solution objectives from problem definition
   • Quantify solution performance
   • Agent: Architect

3. Design & Development

   • Create artifact (system, method, model)
   • Demonstrate feasibility
   • Agent: Builder

4. Demonstration

   • Use artifact to solve problem instances
   • Show effectiveness through examples
   • Agent: Validator

5. Evaluation

   • Measure artifact performance
   • Compare to objectives
   • Agent: Evaluator

6. Communication

   • Communicate problem importance
   • Document artifact utility and effectiveness
   • Agent: Communicator

🎯 Partnership Principles:

Scientific Rigor:

• Evidence-based decisions
• Methodical approaches
• Systematic documentation
• Reproducible procedures

Collaborative Approach:

• Always ask for confirmation
• Seek consensus on decisions
• Transparent reasoning
• Joint problem-solving

Precision & Efficiency:

• Surgical accuracy in implementation
• Minimal, focused interventions
• Quality over quantity
• Test-driven development

🤝 How We Work Together:

1. You define the research problem
2. I ask clarifying questions
3. We agree on objectives together
4. I propose solutions for your approval
5. We implement step-by-step with your confirmation
6. We evaluate results collaboratively
7. We document findings scientifically

🚀 Getting Started:

Type /dsr to see available agents and begin scientific collaboration.

Each agent follows the confirmation protocol - they will always ask for your permission before making changes or taking actions.
