Contemplative is just Deduction for Survivor. In exchange for not providing any icons, Contemplative shakes up the formula by being able to commit it to any Investigation or Parley skill tests performed at your location or a connecting location.

Anyone who's ever played with Deduction knows how valuable discovering extra clues can be, but another side benefit of Contemplative being Innate- and Survivor-coded is that Contemplative can be recurred with cards like Resourceful, True Survivor, or Gift of Nodens. That means that assuming you can consistently pass skill checks without any dedications (or just reduce the difficulty of an Investigation or Parley action to 0), Survivor Cluevers can recur Contemplative from their Discard pile every turn and generate a ridiculous amount of clues without cycling their deck.

This is not okay. What's more, some gators can run both this AND Deduction. — AlderSign · 396
I think another strong point in the cards favour is the ability to commit it to another investigators test. Even if they aren't directly at your location but are close. — Someguy842 · 3
Fun for Agnes or other mystics who can dip survivor. — MrGoldbee · 1492
I am thinking of Minh. With her ability and Grisly Totem, she can even give +2 to the test. — AlderSign · 396

Parley actions often require an enemy.
This skill gives a clue to the performing investigator even if the test is not to get a clue.
Trish Scarborough gets an additional clue if there is an enemy in the location.

So commit this skill to a Parley test Trish performs to handle an enemy (Existential Riddle, Persuasion) and she gets 2 clues.

Over possibility: Trish performs whatever Parley action that requires a test, an other investigator commits Contemplative to this test and if the test is successful, Trish automatically evade this enemy (non-ELite enemy if you use the taboo list).
