Example Output: Research Science Evaluation and Red-Team Harness
Inputs used
- Project context: a literature map for retrieval-augmented agents in enterprise support
- Target audience: scientists, research PMs, labs, technical founders
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: paper database, notebook, citation manager, experiment tracker
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
eval matrix, adversarial cases, grading rubric, and release threshold
Success criteria
Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting citation drift. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.
Golden tasks
Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting p-hacking. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.
Adversarial tasks
Use datasets as evidence, apply the constraint "make replication assumptions explicit", and explicitly note how the plan reduces missing negative results. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Rubric
Use lab notes as evidence, apply the constraint "distinguish evidence levels", and explicitly note how the plan reduces unsupported generalization. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Sampling plan
Release in three gates: internal dry run, limited pilot, then measured expansion. Each gate must show evidence that do not overclaim is true in practice, not only in documentation.
Release decision
Release in three gates: internal dry run, limited pilot, then measured expansion. Each gate must show evidence that make replication assumptions explicit is true in practice, not only in documentation.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on paper abstracts and experiment logs. Treat citation drift as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable research brief, hypothesis table, and experiment plan with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to AI-assisted literature review, hypothesis generation, experiment planning, and technical communication.
- It includes the required sections: Success criteria, Golden tasks, Adversarial tasks, Rubric, Sampling plan, Release decision.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: citation drift.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
