Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Evaluation, Measurement, and Experimentation Foundation and Falsification

RFR-6D3BBB95 — Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Evaluation, Measurement, and Experimentation Foundation and Falsification

Research opportunity

Calibrate construct and measurement validity for the claims or recommendations in “Evaluation, Measurement, and Experimentation Foundation and Falsification.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active-research-package.” Its External evidence: first pass section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/evaluation-measurement/research-execution-package/rep-ve-evl-001-foundation-and-falsification.md
  • Section: External evidence: first pass
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “External evidence: first pass” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “The following entries are proposed for the evidence registry. They are recorded here until the Wave 0 integration checkpoint approves registry changes. ID Source Evidence contribution Limits --- --- --- --- EV-VE-EVL-001 ISO 9241-11:2018 (https://www.iso.org/standard/63500.html) Defines usability in relation to users,…”
  • 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-REP-VE-EVL-001-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.
