RFR-922551F7 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Web Component Framework Evidence Registry
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Web Component Framework Evidence Registry.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “verified.” Its EV-WC-001 section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/design-library/evidence-registry/web-component-framework-evidence-registry-v1.md
- Section:
EV-WC-001 - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “EV-WC-001” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “- Claim: Autonomous custom elements are the practical default custom-element form; customized built-in elements are not a safe interoperability baseline. - Source: WHATWG HTML custom elements; MDN Using custom elements . - Date accessed: 2026-07-22 - Relevance: Customized built-ins preserve native behavior, but Safari…”
- 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-EVR-WC-0001-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.
