Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Canonical Front Matter
RFR-C885E6FE — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Canonical Front Matter
Research opportunity
Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Canonical Front Matter.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active (inferred from publishable inventory).” Its Standardization Notes section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: knowledge-platform/metadata-standard.md
- Section:
Standardization Notes - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Standardization Notes” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “- Use stable IDs instead of filename-only identity. - Separate created from updated ; do not overload date . - Prefer arrays for concepts, tags, and relationships. - Keep filenames human-readable but treat metadata as the source of truth.”
- 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-CANONICAL-FRONT-MATTER-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.
