RFR-7EBFD0C1 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Purpose

Research opportunity

Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Purpose.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “research-complete.” Its MODEL-IF-001: The Familiarity-Adjusted Design Quality Model section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

• Origin document: content/projects/composition-science/research-report/intuitive-is-just-familiar-research-report.md
• Section: MODEL-IF-001: The Familiarity-Adjusted Design Quality Model
• Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “MODEL-IF-001: The Familiarity-Adjusted Design Quality Model” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
• Supporting evidence excerpt: “A design should be evaluated at three exposure states:”
• 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-F9BD9CF2

Suggested REP and methodology

• Suggested REP: REP-PURPOSE-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.
