RFR-95D65EFE — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Cross-Cultural Transfer of Warm and Cool Color Associations

Research opportunity

Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Cross-Cultural Transfer of Warm and Cool Color Associations.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “power-pilot-complete-field-study-pending.” Its Work completed section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-005-warm-cool-cross-cultural.md
  • Section: Work completed
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Work completed” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “A fixed-seed toy power simulation examined a standardized cross-group interaction of .25 , with 2,000 runs at 30, 60, 120, and 240 analyzable participants per stratum.”
  • 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-EX-ITTEN-005-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.
