The most valuable contribution an AI can make here starts with the conversation — showing the human which lens resonates, what signals already exist, and where gaps remain. Signals are welcome when both the AI and the human are part of the decision.",
  "instruction": "Each lens represents a genuine analytical framework. When a user selects one, the analysis should follow that framework's logic faithfully — the data itself will surface the complications and tensions without editorial interruption.",
