Finding type legend
FACT Verifiable claim backed by a named source. Without independent support it stays UNVERIFIED.
USER COMPLAINT A reported user pain from a community/forum/review source — real to the reporter, not yet verified as a widespread problem.
TREND Repeated signal across sources. Never escalated on its own; watch for corroboration.
ASSUMPTION An unvalidated internal belief. Stays ASSUMPTION until tested with real user evidence.
OPPORTUNITY An actionable possibility assessed from evidence (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH) — an assessment, not a score.
CONFLICTING EVIDENCESources disagree — a contradiction is visible and unresolved. Conflicting findings are never auto-resolved and never escalated until a human reconciles them.

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.

Multi-warehouse need is still an assumption

Planning assumes small sellers need multi-warehouse support; this has not been validated with any user.

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.
