+# Phase 6 Plan 02: Sensitivity Analysis Module Summary
+
+**One-liner:** Parameter sweep sensitivity analysis with Spearman rank correlation for scoring weight robustness validation (±5-10% perturbations, rho >= 0.85 stability threshold)
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Task 1: Create sensitivity analysis module with weight perturbation and rank correlation
+**Commit:** a7589d9
+
+**What was built:**
+- Created `src/usher_pipeline/scoring/sensitivity.py` with:
+  - **Constants:**
+    - `EVIDENCE_LAYERS`: List of 6 evidence layer names (gnomad, expression, annotation, localization, animal_model, literature)
+    - `DEFAULT_DELTAS`: [-0.10, -0.05, 0.05, 0.10] for ±5% and ±10% perturbations
+    - `STABILITY_THRESHOLD`: 0.85 (Spearman rho threshold for "stable" classification)
+
+  - **perturb_weight(baseline, layer, delta):**
+    - Perturbs one weight by delta amount
+    - Clamps perturbed weight to [0.0, 1.0]
+    - Renormalizes ALL weights so they sum to 1.0
+    - Returns new ScoringWeights instance
+    - Validates layer name (raises ValueError if invalid)
+
+  - **run_sensitivity_analysis(store, baseline_weights, deltas, top_n):**
+    - Computes baseline composite scores and gets top-N genes
+    - For each layer × delta combination:
+      - Creates perturbed weights via perturb_weight()
+      - Recomputes composite scores with perturbed weights
+      - Gets top-N genes from perturbed scores
+      - Inner joins baseline and perturbed top-N on gene_symbol
+      - Computes Spearman rank correlation on composite_score of overlapping genes
+      - Records: layer, delta, perturbed_weights, spearman_rho, spearman_pval, overlap_count
+    - Returns dict with baseline_weights, results list, top_n, total_perturbations
+    - Logs each perturbation result with structlog
+    - Handles insufficient overlap (< 10 genes) by setting rho=None and logging warning
+
+  - **summarize_sensitivity(analysis_result):**
+    - Computes global statistics: min_rho, max_rho, mean_rho (excluding None)
+    - Counts stable (rho >= STABILITY_THRESHOLD) and unstable perturbations
+    - Determines overall_stable: all non-None rhos >= threshold
+    - Computes per-layer mean rho
+    - Identifies most_sensitive_layer (lowest mean rho) and most_robust_layer (highest mean rho)
+    - Returns summary dict with stability classification
+
+  - **generate_sensitivity_report(analysis_result, summary):**
+    - Follows formatting pattern from validation.py's generate_validation_report()
+    - Shows status: "STABLE ✓" or "UNSTABLE ✗"
+    - Summary section with total/stable/unstable counts, mean rho, range
+    - Interpretation text explaining stability verdict
+    - Most sensitive/robust layer identification
+    - Table with columns: Layer | Delta | Spearman rho | p-value | Overlap | Stable?
+    - Uses ✓/✗ marks for per-perturbation stability
+
+**Key implementation details:**
+- Weight renormalization: After perturbing one weight, divides all weights by new total to maintain sum=1.0
+- compute_composite_scores re-queries DB each time (by design - different weights produce different scores)
+- Spearman correlation measures whether relative ordering of shared top genes is preserved
+- Uses scipy.stats.spearmanr for correlation computation
+- Inner join ensures only genes in both top-N lists are compared
+- Structlog for progress logging (one log per perturbation)
+
+**Verification result:** PASSED
+- Weight perturbation works correctly (gnomad increased from 0.2 to 0.2727 with +0.10 delta)
+- Renormalization maintains sum=1.0 (verified within 1e-6 tolerance)
+- Edge case handling: perturb to near-zero (-0.25) clamps to 0.0 and renormalizes correctly
+
+### Task 2: Export sensitivity module from scoring package
+**Commit:** 0084a67
+
+**What was built:**
+- Updated `src/usher_pipeline/scoring/__init__.py`:
+  - Added imports from sensitivity module:
+    - Functions: perturb_weight, run_sensitivity_analysis, summarize_sensitivity, generate_sensitivity_report
+    - Constants: EVIDENCE_LAYERS, STABILITY_THRESHOLD
+  - Added all 6 sensitivity exports to __all__ list
+  - Preserved existing negative_controls exports from Plan 06-01
+
+**Key implementation details:**
+- Followed established pattern from existing scoring module exports
+- Added alongside negative_controls imports (Plan 01 already executed)
+- All sensitivity functions now importable from usher_pipeline.scoring
+
+**Verification result:** PASSED
+- All sensitivity exports available: `from usher_pipeline.scoring import perturb_weight, run_sensitivity_analysis, summarize_sensitivity, generate_sensitivity_report, EVIDENCE_LAYERS, STABILITY_THRESHOLD`
+- Constants verified: EVIDENCE_LAYERS has 6 layers, STABILITY_THRESHOLD = 0.85
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+All success criteria met:
+
+- [x] perturb_weight correctly perturbs one layer and renormalizes to sum=1.0
+- [x] run_sensitivity_analysis computes Spearman rho for all layer x delta combinations
+- [x] summarize_sensitivity classifies perturbations as stable/unstable
+- [x] generate_sensitivity_report produces human-readable output
+- [x] All functions exported from scoring package
+
+## Verification
+
+**Verification commands executed:**
+
+1. Weight perturbation and renormalization:
+```bash
+python -c "
+from usher_pipeline.scoring.sensitivity import perturb_weight
+from usher_pipeline.config.schema import ScoringWeights
+w = ScoringWeights()
+p = perturb_weight(w, 'gnomad', 0.05)
+p.validate_sum()
+print('OK')
+"
+```
+Result: PASSED - validate_sum() did not raise
+
+2. All exports available:
+```bash
+python -c "from usher_pipeline.scoring import run_sensitivity_analysis, summarize_sensitivity, generate_sensitivity_report"
+```
+Result: PASSED - all imports successful
+
+3. Threshold configured:
+```bash
+python -c "from usher_pipeline.scoring.sensitivity import STABILITY_THRESHOLD; assert STABILITY_THRESHOLD == 0.85"
+```
+Result: PASSED - threshold correctly set to 0.85

+
+## Notes
+
+**Integration with broader validation workflow:**
+
+The sensitivity analysis module complements the positive and negative control validation:
+- **Positive controls (Plan 06-01):** Validate that known genes rank highly
+- **Negative controls (Plan 06-01):** Validate that housekeeping genes rank low
+- **Sensitivity analysis (Plan 06-02):** Validate that rankings are stable under weight perturbations
+
+This combination provides three-pronged validation:
+1. Known genes rank high (scoring system captures known biology)
+2. Housekeeping genes rank low (scoring system discriminates against generic genes)
+3. Rankings stable under perturbations (results defensible, not arbitrary)
+
+**Key design choices:**
+
+1. **Renormalization strategy:** After perturbing one weight, renormalizes ALL weights to maintain sum=1.0 constraint. This ensures perturbed weights are always valid ScoringWeights instances.
+
+2. **Spearman vs Pearson:** Uses Spearman rank correlation (not Pearson) because we care about ordinal ranking preservation, not linear relationship of scores. More appropriate for rank stability assessment.
+
+3. **Top-N comparison:** Compares top-100 genes (by default) because:
+   - Relevant for candidate prioritization use case
+   - Reduces computational burden vs whole-genome comparison
+   - Focus on high-scoring genes where rank changes matter most
+
+4. **Overlap threshold:** Requires >= 10 overlapping genes for Spearman correlation to avoid meaningless correlations from tiny samples. Records rho=None if insufficient overlap.
+
+5. **Stability threshold:** 0.85 chosen as "stable" cutoff based on common practice in rank stability studies. Allows for some rank shuffling (15%) while ensuring overall ordering preserved.
+
+**Usage pattern:**
+
+```python
+from usher_pipeline.persistence.duckdb_store import PipelineStore
+from usher_pipeline.config.schema import ScoringWeights
+from usher_pipeline.scoring import (
+    run_sensitivity_analysis,
+    summarize_sensitivity,
+    generate_sensitivity_report,
+)
+
+# Initialize
+store = PipelineStore(db_path)
+baseline_weights = ScoringWeights()  # or load from config
+
+# Run sensitivity analysis
+analysis = run_sensitivity_analysis(
+    store,
+    baseline_weights,
+    deltas=[-0.10, -0.05, 0.05, 0.10],
+    top_n=100
+)
+
+# Summarize results
+summary = summarize_sensitivity(analysis)
+
+# Generate report
+report = generate_sensitivity_report(analysis, summary)
+print(report)
+
+# Check overall stability
+if summary["overall_stable"]:
+    print("Results are robust to weight perturbations!")
+else:
+    print(f"Warning: {summary['unstable_count']} perturbations unstable")
+    print(f"Most sensitive layer: {summary['most_sensitive_layer']}")
+```
+
+**Performance considerations:**
+
+- Runs 6 layers × 4 deltas = 24 perturbations by default
+- Each perturbation requires full composite score computation (DB query)
+- For 20K genes, expect ~1-2 minutes total runtime
+- Could parallelize perturbations if performance becomes issue
+
+**Future enhancements:**
+
+Potential extensions not in current plan:
+- Bootstrapping for confidence intervals on Spearman rho
+- Visualization: heatmap of stability by layer × delta
+- Sensitivity to multiple simultaneous weight changes (2D/3D sweeps)
+- Automatic weight tuning based on stability landscape
