RFR-10971FA9 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Itten Color Contrasts — Experiment Pilot Cycle

Research opportunity

Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Itten Color Contrasts — Experiment Pilot Cycle.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “computational-pilots-complete.” Its Purpose section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/research-journal/2026-07-28-cycle-2-experiment-pilots.md
  • Section: Purpose
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Purpose” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “Move every proposed experiment from an undeveloped research gap to a reproducible pilot, an explicit result, a protocol, and a continuation state—without confusing model output with human or physical measurement.”
  • Reason this opportunity exists: How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.

Unknowns

  • How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.

Dependencies

Suggested REP and methodology

  • Suggested REP: REP-RJ-VE-ITTEN-002-BENCHMARK
  • Methodology: Curate representative cases, blind ground truth where possible, define baselines and uncertainty-aware metrics, and run reproducible benchmark evaluations.
  • Expected outputs: Versioned benchmark, baseline implementations, scoring harness, datasheet, and adoption decision rule.
  • Success criteria: Independent teams can reproduce scores and the benchmark discriminates meaningful quality differences without rewarding proxy gaming.
  • Recommended agent: research-engineering-agent
  • Estimated effort: Medium
  • Expected knowledge gained: How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.
