+a **declared assumption** (§Ask before the write). At E3 the artifact stays
+`DRAFT` and the plan holds at the next user gate; at E1/E2, proceed and list the
+assumption in the reply.
+
 ## The question discipline
 
+A doubt kept silent is decided by the agent alone and reaches the plan looking
+settled; a useless question wastes the user's attention. This section rules on
+both.
+
+### When a doubt emerges
+
+A **candidate doubt** is an open point whose answer changes the plan. The usual
+signals — they illustrate, they do not close the definition:
+
+| Thought | What it means |
+|---|---|
+| "They probably mean…", "I'll assume…" | you are choosing between readings of the request |
+| "The brief doesn't say, so I'll fill it in" | a gap in scope, a non-goal, a budget or a priority |
+| "Either would work, I'll pick one" | equivalent in effect: yours, pick and do not ask; different in effect: weigh them below |
+| "I'll note it as an assumption and move on" | with the user reachable, that note is where doubts go to be forgotten |
+
+- **A fact about the business, or information only the user holds** (a budget,
+  a margin, a red line): settled only by evidence, cited —
+  never settled by a weighing. A ledger ASSUMPTION backed by a benchmark, a
+  comparable or a stated policy is a researched answer with its confidence, not a
+  doubt; a gap only the user can fill is a real doubt.
+- **A choice** — a reading of the brief, a strategic trade-off: cite the user's
+  statement that settles it (the brief, an APPROVED MKT-VISION, an earlier answer);
+  failing one, weigh the pros and cons of each option, stating each rejected option
+  at its strongest — the need it serves best; a weighing won against a weak version
+  of the alternative is not a weighing. One clearly outweighs: take it and write the
+  weighing with the choice — "I take X over Z: pro …, contro …". Balanced, or
+  turning on a priority of theirs not on record: a **real doubt** — and it turns on
+  one whenever the options serve different needs of the audience or the business,
+  each better at one the user would notice in the results (reach against
+  conversion, speed to market against completeness of the launch) and
+  none good enough at both, and nothing the user wrote ranks those needs — however
+  clear your own ranking feels. "The more natural reading" with no pros and cons
+  written is not a weighing. Reserved approvals never enter this test
+  (§The form of a question).
+
+### Ask before the write
+
+A real doubt that passes the legality test below is **owed**, not merely allowed.
+Ask it before the first write that would embed its answer, grouped with every
+doubt open at that point — the next wave when one is due, otherwise one round —
+following the question style below. Never defer a doubt to the deliverable, where
+the user must find it inside the plan; never drip one question per turn. An
+intent choice with neither a source nor a weighing is a finding (`review.md`
+§Reviewing).
+
+**Declared assumptions exist only where no question can be asked:**
+
+- **Unattended** — the user is not reachable (the Unattended path above).
+- **Delegated** — their own words handed you this choice; quote them. A general
+  "go ahead" is not a delegation.
+
+Each states **what it is taken from** and **the alternative it excludes** —
+a number goes in the ledger as an ASSUMPTION row, anything else in the artifact it
+touches — and is listed where the user will read it: an unshown assumption is a
+fabricated FACT waiting to happen. (A researched ASSUMPTION row, with its range and
+confidence, is an answer, not a declared assumption.) A dispatched subagent returns
+its open points in its final output (`dispatch.md`); the orchestrator treats them as
+its own candidate doubts (§When a doubt emerges).
