RFR-3D821689 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Visual Design Research Consolidation
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Visual Design Research Consolidation.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “complete.” Its Consolidated operating model section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/project-atlas/research-execution-package/rep-atlas-0004-visual-design-research-consolidation.md
- Section:
Consolidated operating model - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Consolidated operating model” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “The current repository supports this stack: text Physical rendering and environment ↓ Perceptual availability ↓ Grouping, segmentation, and discrimination ↓ Attention allocation and search ↓ Working memory and mental-model formation ↓ Interpretation and prediction ↓ Decision and action ↓ Learning, familiarity, adaptat…”
- 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-REP-ATLAS-0004-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.
