Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Project Atlas Autonomous Research Report 001
RFR-8F707518 — Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Project Atlas Autonomous Research Report 001
Research opportunity
Calibrate construct and measurement validity for the claims or recommendations in “Project Atlas Autonomous Research Report 001.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “Research synthesis with falsification log.” Its Evidence Found section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/project-atlas/research-report/project-atlas-autonomous-research-report-001-relational-legibility.md
- Section:
Evidence Found - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Evidence Found” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “Research on visual crowding strongly supports critical spacing constraints. Objects in peripheral vision can become unidentifiable when surrounding objects are too close. Critical spacing changes with retinal eccentricity rather than being a fixed physical or pixel distance. Studies of realistic objects also find reco…”
- 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-PROJECT-ATLAS-AUTONOMOUS-RESEARC-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.
