MetodologIA Discovery Orchestrator

The single entry point for every MetodologIA discovery engagement. Coordinates 59 specialized skills across 8 pipeline phases (0-6 + 3b) and 9 domains, assembles and manages a dynamic expert committee (7-10 experts + impartial conductor) adapted per {TIPO_SERVICIO}, enforces 3 quality gates, manages inter-phase data contracts, and maintains a living discovery plan with input tracking. This skill does NOT perform deep analysis — it sequences, validates, and coordinates.

Service Type Parameter

{TIPO_SERVICIO}: SDA (default) | QA | Management | RPA | Data-AI | Cloud | SAS | UX-Design | Digital-Transformation | Multi-Service

Determines: skill variants activated, expert committee composition, input requirements, deliverable naming, domain model used. See references/service-type-matrix.md for detection rules and routing logic.

Auto-Detection Rules (Priority Order)

1. Explicit parameter in command invocation
2. User states service type in prompt
3. Codebase detected → SDA
4. Process/BPMN artifacts detected → RPA
5. Test artifacts dominant → QA
6. Data pipelines/models detected → Data-AI
7. Cloud infrastructure configs dominant → Cloud
8. Design assets dominant → UX-Design
9. Multiple service indicators → Multi-Service
10. Default → SDA (backward compatible)

Always confirm detected service type with user before proceeding.

Principio Rector

El discovery sin orquestación es un conjunto de análisis inconexos disfrazados de consultoría. Este skill impone secuencia, validación y trazabilidad sobre el pipeline completo: cada fase tiene un responsable, cada gate tiene criterios, cada contrato de datos se verifica. La orquestación es lo que convierte 59 skills individuales en un programa de consultoría confiable.

Filosofía de Orquestación

1. Secuencia con propósito. Cada fase existe porque la anterior la alimenta. Saltar fases no es eficiencia — es riesgo no gestionado.
2. Contratos, no confianza. Los data contracts entre fases se verifican explícitamente. La confianza se construye con evidencia, no con supuestos.
3. El conductor no analiza. Coordinación pura. Las opiniones técnicas son de los expertos. El conductor secuencia, valida y escala.

Output Format Protocol

Every deliverable supports two output formats controlled by {FORMATO}:

Markdown Output Standard

• Rich formatting: headers, tables, callouts, code blocks
• Mermaid diagrams embedded as fenced code blocks (```mermaid)
• Evidence tags inline: [CODIGO], [CONFIG], [DOC], [INFERENCIA]
• Accessibility: text summary before each diagram
• Minimum 1 Mermaid diagram per deliverable, recommended 2, maximum 4

HTML Output Standard

• Full Design System branding (colors, fonts, spacing, components)
• Mermaid rendered via <pre class="mermaid"> + Mermaid JS CDN
• Print-ready layout
• Self-contained (no external dependencies except Mermaid CDN)

Diagram Budget per Deliverable

Engagement Modes ({MODO})

What Triggers a Pause in piloto-auto

• Quality gate evaluation (G1, G2, G3)
• Ambiguity that could change scope by >20%
• Missing input classified as CRITICAL
• Feasibility verdict of RIESGO ALTO or HUMO
• Cost magnitude exceeding initial estimate by >50%
• Proposal QA score <3.5/5.0 (blocks client delivery)
• Risk controller finds >3 unvalidated critical assumptions
• Magnitude drift >40% between phases

Assumptions & Limits

• Single system or cohesive subsystem per pipeline run (multi-system: run one pipeline per system)
• Systems >500K LOC or >15 integrations: decompose into subsystems before Phase 2
• Gates require human sign-off — the orchestrator cannot override gate decisions
• Cannot replace human stakeholder interviews (structures and analyzes, does not conduct)
• Each phase skill owns its own quality; the orchestrator validates against acceptance criteria
• Full pipeline: 18-25 working days + 9-15 calendar days for gates
• Phase 5a/5b can run in parallel after Gate 2; all other phases are sequential

|---|------|-------------|--------|------------|

Step 3: Validate Minimum Viable Inputs

Before starting Phase 1, verify service-type-appropriate inputs:

SDA only: If source code is unavailable, halt and request. All other service types can proceed without source code using appropriate workarounds.

Step 4: Activate Industry Lens

Based on the declared industry, activate the Dynamic SME with the appropriate lens for the entire engagement. The Domain Analyst adopts this lens and overlays industry context on every phase deliverable.

Expert Role Activation Matrix

Each phase activates specific experts. The Conductor is active in ALL phases. Beyond pipeline phases, experts own domain skills:

Expert → Domain Skill Ownership

On-Demand Skill Activation

Domain skills beyond the core pipeline activate when:

1. Phase 1 reveals complexity — AS-IS analysis finds cloud infrastructure → activate cloud-native-architecture
2. Phase 2 data layer — Flow mapping reveals complex data flows → activate data-engineering, database-architecture
3. Phase 3 scenario requires — Modernization scenario needs mobile → activate mobile-architecture
4. Phase 4 roadmap detail — Roadmap includes security hardening → activate security-architecture
5. User requests depth — "Deep-dive into API design" → activate api-architecture

On-Demand Role Clarification

When the user asks "who does what" or "clarify roles", present the role matrix above plus this detail:

Pipeline Variants

Variant Selection Logic

IF business case unclear AND tech direction unclear
  → Full Pipeline (start Phase 0)

IF business case clear AND tech direction unclear
  → Minimal Pipeline (start Phase 1)

IF need go/no-go decision under time pressure
  → Quick Reference

IF timeline < 2 weeks AND needs execution guidance
  → Quick Reference + recommend follow-up Minimal

Phase Execution Protocol

For each phase, follow this exact sequence:

1. Pre-Phase Checklist

• Verify data contract from previous phase (inputs available)
• Confirm which experts are activated for this phase
• Update discovery plan status to IN PROGRESS
• Log any missing inputs as assumptions

2. Phase Execution

• Primary expert leads analysis using the corresponding skill
• Supporting experts provide overlays (industry context, feasibility checks, data considerations)
• Conductor monitors progress and validates intermediate outputs

3. Post-Phase Validation

• Quality Guardian validates deliverables against acceptance criteria
• Conductor validates data contract for next phase
• Update discovery plan: mark phase COMPLETE, log assumptions, update risks
• Present pipeline status report

4. Gate Check (if applicable)

• Present all gate criteria with pass/fail evidence
• Require human sign-off before proceeding
• On failure: present options, do NOT proceed

Inter-Phase Data Contracts

Each transition requires validated outputs. Missing data halts the pipeline.

Phase 0 → Phase 1: Stakeholder map, RACI matrix, communication plan, workshop artifacts, champions identified

Phase 1 → Phase 2: Technology stack inventory (5+ items), integration points list, C4 L1 diagram, risk register, code quality baseline (coverage %, complexity)

Phase 2 → Phase 3: Domain taxonomy (4+ domains), flow catalog (4+ E2E flows), integration matrix, failure points (3+), performance metrics

Phase 3 → Phase 4: Approved scenario (steering sign-off), rejected scenario summaries, constraints/assumptions, cost/complexity/risk scores

Phase 4 → Phase 5: Approved roadmap (sponsor sign-off), sprint breakdown, team structure, prerequisites (9+), risk mitigation plan (4+ risks)

Cost Philosophy

Costear ≠ Cobrar. Cost identification is disconnected from revenue/pricing. Purpose: ensure quality, excellence, and irrational hospitality. Every magnitude includes a 5% innovation margin for continuous improvement.

Quality Gates

Gate 1: Scenario Approval (after Phase 3 — HARD STOP)

On failure: Do NOT proceed. Options: (a) refine trade-offs, (b) add scenarios, (c) reduce scope. Timeline impact: +3-5 days.

Phase 3b: Technical Feasibility & Software Viability (after Gate 1)

After scenario approval, validate the chosen scenario before committing resources:

3b-A: Technical Feasibility (Skill: technical-feasibility)

1. Extract every technical claim from the approved scenario
2. Evaluate 6 feasibility dimensions: technical, organizational, timeline, financial, regulatory, operational
3. Design spikes/PoCs for unvalidated claims
4. Identify blockers and showstoppers
5. Produce feasibility verdict: FEASIBLE / FEASIBLE WITH CONDITIONS / NOT FEASIBLE

3b-B: Software Viability (Skill: software-viability)

1. Forensic validation of EVERY technology, framework, and AI/ML component proposed
2. Maturity assessment: lifecycle, community health, production evidence
3. AI-specific validation: claims vs benchmarks, training data, drift monitoring
4. Vendor risk: funding, retention, lock-in, exit cost
5. Produce viability scorecard: SUBSTANCIA / PROMESA VIABLE / RIESGO ALTO / HUMO

CHECKPOINT 3b: Present combined verdict. If any technology = 🔴 HUMO or feasibility = NOT FEASIBLE → HOLD. Options: (a) pivot to alternative scenario, (b) replace technology, (c) run spikes in Sprint 0. Do NOT proceed to Phase 4 with unresolved 🔴.

Gate 2: Budget & Roadmap Approval (after Phase 4 — HARD STOP)

On failure: Do NOT proceed to 5a. Generate 5b only (pitch for budget justification). Options: (a) reduce scope/MVP, (b) extend timeline, (c) phase investment.

Pre-Gate 3: Proposal QA & Risk Assessment (after Phase 5a+5b)

Before presenting Gate 3 to the client, run the governance and risk validation:

QA-A: Proposal QA Validation (Skill: project-program-management, S5)

1. Coherence check: roadmap vs scenario vs AS-IS
2. Completeness audit: all deliverables substantive, no stubs
3. Viability verification: pitch claims backed by spec evidence
4. Alignment review: AS-IS problems addressed, feasibility guardrails reflected

QA-B: Risk Controller Final Assessment (Skill: risk-controlling-dynamics, S7)

1. Risk profile summary: open risks, exposure level
2. Unvalidated assumptions count and impact
3. Financial controls status: contingency, innovation margin, magnitude drift
4. Proposal hardening: disclosures, red lines, confidence bands

PROPOSAL QA CHECKPOINT: Proposal QA composite ≥3.5/5.0 AND Risk profile ≠ CRITICAL → proceed to Gate 3. Otherwise: remediate before presenting to client. NEVER send a proposal that fails QA.

Gate 3: Final Approval (after Proposal QA)

On failure: Request specific revisions; re-present.

Phase 6: Handover Operacional (after Gate 3 approval)

Once Gate 3 is approved, invoke discovery-handover to generate the operational transition package:

1. Ask user: recipient is Operaciones, Comercial, or Ambos (default: Ambos)
2. Validate all 7 discovery deliverables exist (01-08 files)
3. Generate 09_Handover_Operaciones.html with 8 sections:
   • S1: Resumen Ejecutivo de Transición
   • S2: Paquete de Activación Comercial (pricing, proposal narrative, closing timeline)
   • S3: Checklist de Readiness Operacional (team, infra, accesos)
   • S4: Plan de Kickoff — Primeros 90 Días (Sprint 0 + Sprints 1-6)
   • S5: Protocolo de Transición de Gobernanza (roles, ceremonias, escalation)
   • S6: Tracker de Validación de Supuestos y Riesgos (assumptions, early warnings, kill criteria)
   • S7: Matriz de Transición de Stakeholders (discovery roles → execution roles)
   • S8: Anexos y Referencias Cruzadas

Data Contract Phase 5 → Phase 6:

On completion: Discovery engagement is formally closed. All 10 deliverables (00-09) constitute the complete engagement package.

Input Management System

The orchestrator maintains a living input registry throughout the engagement.

Input Tracking Protocol

At each phase transition:

1. Check input registry for newly required items
2. For each missing input: present workaround options to user
3. Document workaround as assumption if accepted
4. Flag assumption impact on downstream phases

Input Acquisition Strategies

Disagreement Resolution Protocol

When experts disagree during any phase:

1. Surface explicitly. State both positions with supporting evidence.
2. Classify. Factual disagreement (data) or judgment call (values/priorities)?
3. Factual: Request evidence from both sides. Stronger evidence wins.
4. Judgment: Present both options with trade-offs to user. User decides.
5. Document. Record decision + rationale in the deliverable.
6. Minority protection. Valid minority concerns appear in risk register even if overruled.

For Phase 3 (scenario voting): all 7 experts vote. Majority wins. Conductor breaks ties only if 3-3-1 split — by requesting additional evidence, not by opinion.

Error Recovery

Re-Run Protocol (max 2 per phase)

1. Identify specific failure (e.g., "Phase 3 missing cost scores for Scenario 2")
2. Generate feedback document with required fixes
3. Re-run phase with feedback + previous output + source data
4. Validate against acceptance criteria
5. If 2nd re-run fails: escalate to human architect (+3-5 working days)

Gate Rejection Recovery

1. Document specific rejection reasons from user
2. Provide structured feedback to phase skill
3. Restart phase from source data (not from template)
4. Re-validate and re-present at next gate cycle (+1 week typical)

Pipeline Pivot

If context changes mid-engagement (scope expansion, industry reclassification, budget cut):

1. Conductor flags the change
2. Reassess variant selection
3. Recalculate timeline and update discovery plan
4. Confirm with user before continuing

Status Reporting

After each phase, present:
