Dispatch — quantitative-researcher
dispatch_quantitative_researcherDispatch to the QUANTITATIVE RESEARCHER — numerical analysis with full methodology context. Use for: briefs that turn on numbers done rigorously — "what is the documented effect size of X / what does the data say about Y / quantify the impact of Z". Every load-bearing number carries sample frame, sample size, measurement instrument, time window. Often answers with insufficient-evidence when underlying data is thin (negative findings are deliverable). Returns: 4-axis Quantitative summary (Value / Methodology rigor / Effect size / Robustness) + Numerical findings table + Methodology gaps + Sources. NOT for: topic landscapes (use dispatch_desk_researcher) / community language patterns (use dispatch_qualitative_researcher).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| priority | No | standard (default) uses the specialist's production model; deep uses its escalation model (per _config/model-assignments.ts). | |
| objective | Yes | One sentence stating what "done" looks like — the specific deliverable the specialist must return. From the four-part delegation contract (agent-authoring §5). | |
| boundaries | Yes | In scope vs out of scope. Explicit OUT_OF_SCOPE clauses. Constraints (e.g. "do not spawn further subagents", "only Meta paid social"). | |
| output_format | Yes | The shape the specialist must return — schema, template, or specific format. If verbatim-return needed, say so explicitly (parent may summarize otherwise). | |
| tool_guidance | Yes | How the specialist should approach this — which of its tools to favor, effort budget in tool calls, query angles to prioritize. |
