Steel-Manning Synthesis

The final integration step — synthesizes all perspective attacks, debate verdicts, and challenge results into a unified assessment. Produces the campaign's final verdict with surviving concerns and recommended modifications.

Execution

Spawns a subagent that receives all attack and verdict data from the campaign and produces the final synthesis.

Why Subagent

  • Synthesis requires impartial integration across all prior work
  • Must weigh competing perspectives without favoring any
  • Isolation from individual attack/verdict roles ensures balanced final assessment

HARD-GATE

Output must include:

  • Final verdict: ACCEPT / REJECT / REVISE
  • Every attack addressed (not ignored)
  • Surviving concerns with severity ratings
  • Recommended modifications (if REVISE)
  • Confidence level in the verdict

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
