Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Atlas Perceptual Measurement Layer
RFR-7524217E — Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Atlas Perceptual Measurement Layer
Research opportunity
Calibrate construct and measurement validity for the claims or recommendations in “Atlas Perceptual Measurement Layer.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “Proposed Canonical Foundation.” Its 2. Colorimetric Normalization section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/project-atlas/research-note/df-atlas-color-005-perceptual-measurement-layer.md
- Section:
2. Colorimetric Normalization - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “2. Colorimetric Normalization” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “Required fields when applicable: yaml color space: transfer function: primaries: white point: observer: illuminant: luminance cd m2: measurement geometry: measurement device: bit depth: alpha:”
- 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-ATLAS-PERCEPTUAL-MEASUREMENT-LAY-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.
