Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Composition Science Research Library

RFR-30986B41 — Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Composition Science Research Library

Research opportunity

Calibrate construct and measurement validity for the claims or recommendations in “Composition Science Research Library.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active (inferred from publishable inventory).” Its Evidence Confidence Scale section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/composition-science/canonical/composition-science-research-library-v0-4.md
  • Section: Evidence Confidence Scale
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Evidence Confidence Scale” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “Grade Meaning --- --- A Meta-analysis, systematic review, or strong replicated evidence with usable quantitative results B Multiple controlled studies or a large, well-reported controlled study C Single controlled experiment with adequate reporting D Applied or observational evidence E Expert theory, historical analys…”
  • Reason this opportunity exists: Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.

Unknowns

  • Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.

Dependencies

  • None; this is foundational work.

Suggested REP and methodology

  • Suggested REP: REP-COMPOSITION-SCIENCE-RESEARCH-LIB-MEASUREMENT
  • Methodology: Define the construct, compare convergent and discriminant measures, estimate reliability, test measurement invariance, and publish calibration data.
  • Expected outputs: Construct definition, measurement protocol, reliability study, calibration dataset, and validity report.
  • Success criteria: Measures meet declared reliability and validity thresholds across the principal populations and contexts.
  • Recommended agent: measurement-research-agent
  • Estimated effort: Medium
  • Expected knowledge gained: Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.
