RFR-C563CC62 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Itten Modern Color Theory Experiment Program
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Itten Modern Color Theory Experiment Program.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active.” Its Reproduction section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/README.md
- Section:
Reproduction - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Reproduction” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “From the repository root: sh node scripts/itten-color/run-computational-pilots.mjs The script uses seed 20260728 , writes one JSON record per experiment plus a summary to ../experiments/data/ , and records its SHA-256 hash in every output. Generated values must not be interpreted as observed human performance.”
- 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-IDX-VE-ITTEN-EX-001-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.
