Decide cite-and-build vs reassert distinctiveness
Judges each prior-art collision and drafts the positioning sentence that establishes the framework's distinctiveness — whether to distinguish, cite-and-build, or reframe.
In / outPrior-art collision report + framework → per-collision positioning decision (distinguish/cite-and-build/reframe) with drafted positioning sentence
You might say…
“There's something similar out there and I need to know if I should cite it, fight it, or ignore it.”
What it does
Takes the prior-art findings and the framework and judges, per collision, whether to explicitly distinguish, cite-and-build on, or reframe — drafting the positioning sentence that establishes the framework's distinctiveness against each adjacent work. Used to convert a collision report into a defensible originality stance.
Trigger: Use after receiving a prior-art scan, to convert the collision report into a concrete originality stance and the specific language that defends it.
