The Problem
The unguarded failure mode: Spending hours on this outdated report is a waste, ignoring the time leak when more valuable tasks are pending.
The Operation
This cognitive operation forces the model to identify the current action and enumerate the top alternative actions that could use the same time. Compute the expected value of each alternative and rank them. Compare the current action's value against the highest-ranked alternative. Verify that sunk time is excluded from the comparison. If the current action's value is marginal, demand a redirect to the highest-value alternative. The reasoning applies a formal computation: EV 1 = sum(P(outcome j|alt 1) * value(outcome j)). Ignore forgone value evaluating time expenditure is rejected.
The Structure
This ability runs on a fork-join pattern that runs parallel analyses and merges their conclusions. Processing continues until the input space is covered or stagnation is detected.
If a chosen path is evaluated without naming what was sacrificed by not choosing the alternative, opportunity cost calculation was omitted.

Cross-Domain Suppression
In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.
When retrieved in Haki mode, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
