## Analytical Framework
Every paper in this series applies a multi-disciplinary analytical team modeled on a military battle staff. Each perspective generates findings the others miss.
| Role | Function | Framework |
|------|----------|-----------|
| **LSS-BB** | Lean Six Sigma Black Belt | DMAIC, DOWNTIME waste taxonomy, process capability assessment, statistical analysis |
| **QASA** | Quality Assurance Standards Analyst | Source verification, citation integrity, cross-reference validation, publication readiness |
| **ASS2** | AI Systems Security Specialist | Dependency risk mapping, supply chain vulnerabilities, API attack surface, data exposure |
| **Creative Arts** | Field Test Practitioner | Hands-on product testing, visual evidence capture, professional workflow simulation |
| **Observer-Controller** | Scope and Quality Manager | Phase gate enforcement, cross-series continuity, scope creep prevention |
