@milenaveneziani and @pwolfram, I have updated this design document based on recent changes. It may require a few final tweaks after #259 is merged. It describes the motivation behind many of the changes made in #258, and should be merged at the same time as that PR. |

This design document describes a method for supporting "prerequisite" tasks that need to be run before other analysis tasks can be performed. This functionality is needed in order to support caching times from multifile data sets and will likely be useful in the future for building up complex tasks from simpler pieces.
