Novelty Matrix
Transforms a claim ledger plus related-work surface into a novelty positioning table for paper-review.
Input
Required:
output/CLAIMS.md
Optional:
- manuscript reference list
- user-provided related work list
Output
output/NOVELTY_MATRIX.md
Contract
Each matrix row must expose:
- claim
- closest related work
- overlap
- delta
- evidence note
Script boundary
scripts/run.py should:
- extract candidate related works from available sources
- generate stable overlap/delta rows
- write a table-shaped artifact
Keep matching heuristics and markdown rendering in shared tooling.
Acceptance
- output exists
- includes at least one row per claim
- if related works are unavailable, the artifact says so explicitly
Non-goals
- final novelty judgment prose
- retrieval of a new literature corpus
