RFR-236D047E — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Project Atlas Rosetta Stone: Cross-System Design Mechanism Map
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Project Atlas Rosetta Stone: Cross-System Design Mechanism Map.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “Initial Verified Crosswalk.” Its Purpose section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/project-atlas/crosswalk/project-atlas-rosetta-stone-cross-system-design-mechanism-map-v0-1.md
- Section:
Purpose - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Purpose” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “Major design systems often describe similar compositional problems using different terminology. One system may discuss: - hierarchy; - another, prominence; - another, emphasis; - another, grouping; - another, progressive disclosure. The Atlas Rosetta Stone maps these recommendations to shared candidate mechanisms with…”
- 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-PROJECT-ATLAS-ROSETTA-STONE-CROS-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.
