Evidence discipline

Every finding visibly distinguishes FACT / USER COMPLAINT / TREND / ASSUMPTION / OPPORTUNITY and shows source, URL (if present), date, confidence and provenance. UNKNOWN or missing evidence never silently becomes HIGH confidence. Contradictions are shown as CONFLICTING EVIDENCE and are never auto-resolved. Opportunity level (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH) considers: user pain, evidence strength, strategic relevance, implementation burden, differentiation potential. It remains an assessment, not mathematical truth.

A CONTINUOUS finding is escalated to Hermes only when it is relevant, materially useful, evidence-backed, and not trending noise.

Promotion to Product Planning (conceptual handoff)

Discovery Finding→Hermes Review→Product Architect / Product Critic→

UI semantics only. V1 has no write API: promotion/dismissal is LOCKED preview. A promoted finding is reviewed by Hermes before the Product Architect / Product Critic act on it — discovery never bypasses the Planning Cell and never creates build tasks from weak signals.
