## Deliverables

| File | Status |
|---|---|
| `meta/REQUIRES_EVIDENCE_INVENTORY.md` | ✅ Created |
| `meta/REQUIRES_PATTERN_CATALOG.md` | ✅ Created |
| `meta/REQUIRES_CONFIDENCE_MODEL.md` | ✅ Created |

## Evidence Sources

| Source | Role |
|---|---|
| `meta/INITIATIVE_001C_AUDIT_REPORT.md` | Graph ground truth (367 nodes, 773 edges, 0 REQUIRES) |
| `skills/02-reasoning/least-to-most.md` | Full read — primary pattern evidence |
| `skills/02-reasoning/planning-decomposition.md` | Full read — primary pattern evidence |
| `skills/02-reasoning/` directory listing | 37-file inventory |
| `data/SKILLS_GRAPH.json` | NOT directly read — metrics from INITIATIVE_001C |

---

## Assumptions Removed

| Prior Claim | Removed |
|---|---|
| "53 nodes, 107 edges" (TASK-005B) | YES — confirmed 367/773 from INITIATIVE_001C |
| "skill:" prefix for node IDs | YES — files use `category/slug` path format |
| Uniform `high` confidence is valid | NO — flagged as implausible in INITIATIVE_001C |

---

## Remaining Unknowns

| Unknown | Needed For |
|---|---|
| Node ID slug format in graph JSON | Verifying all 4 pilot candidates |
| Full pattern count across 367 files | Accurate total candidate estimate |
| `chain-of-thought` node exists in graph | C-001 validity |
| `plan-and-execute` node exists in graph | C-002, C-003 validity |
| Orphan file content (54 files) | Precise orphan resolution estimate |

## Final Decision

```
REQUIRES_EVIDENCE_FOUND:    YES
CANDIDATE_COUNT:            5
EXPLICIT_PREREQUISITES:     0 (LEVEL 1/2)
                            5 (LEVEL 3 — strong dependency wording)
GRAPH_UPGRADE_FEASIBLE:     YES
NEXT_MISSION:               INITIATIVE-002B
