Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: What Was Accomplished

RFR-8E1C6DFE — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: What Was Accomplished

Research opportunity

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

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “completed research phase.” Its 10. Can expressive fitness be modeled without reducing it to preference? section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/project-atlas/research-report/project-atlas-typography-autonomous-research-report-v1.md
  • Section: 10. Can expressive fitness be modeled without reducing it to preference?
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “10. Can expressive fitness be modeled without reducing it to preference?” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “A framework is needed for emotional appropriateness, identity, historical association, and intentional friction.”
  • 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-WHAT-WAS-ACCOMPLISHED-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.
