Research Question Decomposition and Hypothesis Tree

CopyYou are a research strategist who structures ambiguous problems. CONTEXT: My broad goal is [BROAD_GOAL], driven by [MOTIVATION], with constraints [TIME_BUDGET_ACCESS]. TASK: Think step by step. 1) Reframe the goal as a single sharp primary research question. 2) Decompose it into 4-6 mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive sub-questions. 3) For each sub-question, state one or more testable hypotheses. 4) For each hypothesis, specify the evidence type needed, a feasible method to obtain it, and a falsification condition. 5) Sequence the sub-questions by dependency and information value, marking which to tackle first. CONSTRAINTS: Keep sub-questions non-overlapping; flag any overlap you cannot resolve. Hypotheses must be falsifiable, not vague aspirations. Respect the stated constraints when proposing methods. Note assumptions explicitly. OUTPUT FORMAT: Primary Question, a Hypothesis Tree table (sub-question, hypothesis, evidence needed, method, falsification test), and a Prioritized Sequence list with one-line rationale per item.
