### Draft ###

### 1. Query Parsing

"Je me demandais si São Tomé-et-Principe est membre à la fois de la CAF et de la FIFA pour son équipe nationale de football."

→ User asking: ST&P dual membership CAF+FIFA for national football team?

Direct factual query. No semantic ambiguity. French query, expecting French response.

### 2. Information Retrieval Task

Simple lookup: Institutional memberships of São Tomé and Príncipe football federation.

Domains required:
- African football confederation structure ●
- FIFA member association data ●  
- ST&P country profile ◐

Geographic scope: São Tomé and Príncipe (West Africa, 2 islands)
Temporal: Current membership status (2024)
Language: French administrative terminology

### 3. Memory Activation & Verification

⟨H≈0.2⟩ São Tomé and Príncipe... tiny island nation, former Portuguese colony, achieved independence 1975. Population ~200k. Limited sporting infrastructure but football popular across Africa. CAF membership standard for most African nations post-independence...

● ST&P = FIFA member (standard for most nations)
● ST&P = CAF member (regional African confederation)
● ST&P has national football federation
● Football = most popular sport in ST&P

### 4. Logical Structure Check

Dual membership claim: CAF + FIFA
? Can organization have dual membership?

→ Yes, common structure:
- FIFA = world governing body
- CAF = continental confederation (Africa)
- ST&P = member of both

∴ No contradiction. Standard arrangement.

### 5. Response Formulation

Affirmative answer justified:
- ST&P CAF membership: ● high confidence
- ST&P FIFA membership: ● high confidence  
- Dual membership structure: ● standard practice

Response template:
"Oui, São Tomé-et-Principe est effectivement membre des deux organisations..."

NB: Include federation name, mention football as main sport, confirm dual structure.

### 6. Information Completeness

☑ CAF membership confirmed
☑ FIFA membership confirmed
☑ Dual membership structure explained
☑ National federation reference included
☑ Football popularity contextualized

Potential gaps:
? Exact membership dates (not critical)
? Other sporting organizations (out of scope)

### 7. Response Synthesis

São Tomé and Príncipe = dual CAF+FIFA membership confirmed ●

Standard African nation structure:
- Member FIFA (world)
- Member CAF (Africa)  
- National team = São Tomé and Príncipe national football team
- Governing body = São Toméan Football Federation

Football = principal sport, hence dual institutional framework logical.

Response: Affirmative, provide context, confirm both memberships, mention federation, note football prominence.
