RFR-38C1E0F5 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Composition Science Project Constitution

Research opportunity

Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Composition Science Project Constitution.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “approved.” Its Knowledge Model section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

• Origin document: content/projects/composition-science/canonical/composition-science-project-constitution-v1.md
• Section: Knowledge Model
• Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Knowledge Model” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
• Supporting evidence excerpt: “Genome Nodes → Evidence → Observations → Candidate Laws → Experiments → Metrics → Design Rules → Components → Implementations”
• 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

• RFR-2FD4F1EF

Suggested REP and methodology

• Suggested REP: REP-GOV-001-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.

Evaluation

Confidence in this opportunity: moderate. Status: Open.
