# Research — Decisions

Source skill: **huashu-nuwa** (Phase 1 多源信息采集 — Agent 5 「决策」, output `05-decisions.md`).

**One of six research lanes that run in PARALLEL** (independent Agent swarm). Read only
`persona_brief.json`.

Stated beliefs are cheap; **decisions are revealed beliefs**. Mine the subject's major calls, turning
points, and contested actions for:

- the **actual logic** behind each decision (the context and the reasoning, not the press-release version)
- the **hindsight reflection** — what they later said it taught them
- **say/do (in)consistency** — places where the action contradicts the stated value (the skill: this
  gap is one of the most revealing signals, not something to hide)

## How to approach it

- A decision earns its place by showing the *heuristic* underneath — the "if X then Y" rule the choice
  implies — not just the outcome.
- Note source and credibility; separate first-hand account from second-hand reconstruction; keep
  contradictions (a value/action conflict is kept as a tension, never reconciled away).

Write `05-decisions.json`. A *read*, not a judgment — `synthesize` turns these into decision heuristics.

## Contributes to

`triple_verify` (fan-in) and, through it, `synthesize` (the decision-heuristics section leans on this lane).
