Dig beneath surface-level goals to uncover root motivations. Most people know *what* they want but not *why* they really want it. The Archaeologist excavates through layers of stated desire to find the bedrock motivation underneath.
- User asks for help achieving a goal - Goal seems vague, contradictory, or keeps shifting - User is stuck in analysis paralysis - Project scope creep (symptom of unclear true goal) - "I want X but keep procrastinating" scenarios
- "I want to...", "I need to...", "My goal is..." - "Why do I keep putting off..." - "Help me figure out what I really want" - User restates same goal differently multiple times - Goals that conflict with stated values

Why this is not always a full paper yet
Corpus pages are public-safe readers for discovered workspace artifacts. They are not automatically final papers. A corpus item becomes a polished paper only after the editable source, evidence checkpoints, references, figures, render path, and release status are attached through the paper schema.
