# Research Architect Study Design Translate a selected research option into an executable inquiry. Adapt the reference paper's function, never its vocabulary or unexamined assumptions. ## Inputs and blocking rule Read: ```text paper_output/project_config.json paper_output/source_inventory.md paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present paper_output/gap_map.md paper_output/motivation_options_after_literature.md or selected research-question option paper_output/exemplar_logic_profile.md # when target references exist paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md # approved when target references exist ``` Require a selected candidate and, when applicable, approved adaptation. Do not require `confirmed_research_spine.md` before preparing the design: that confirmation occurs with the design at Gate 2. Return to brainstorming or literature when no feasible candidate exists. Read `../research-architect/references/design-family-grammars.md` and `../research-architect/references/study-design-framework.md`. Use `../research-architect/templates/study_design_brief.md` and `../research-architect/templates/study_component_registry.csv`; write the registry as `paper_output/study_component_registry.md`. ## Outputs Prepare: ```text paper_output/study_design_brief.md paper_output/analysis_plan.md paper_output/evaluation_plan.md paper_output/study_component_registry.md paper_output/threats_to_validity.md ``` For `guided` depth, produce the brief and registry f...
