RFR-A13B1F3D — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Web Component Framework Theory Registry Update
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Web Component Framework Theory Registry Update.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “verified.” Its PR-WC-001: Native first, custom when justified section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/design-library/theory-registry/web-component-framework-theory-registry-update-v1.md
- Section:
PR-WC-001: Native first, custom when justified - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “PR-WC-001: Native first, custom when justified” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “- Status: Strengthened - Confidence change: Medium - High - Update: Native semantic HTML and native controls should remain the default author-facing contract unless a measurable requirement cannot be met.”
- 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-THY-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.
