SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Autonomous research pipelines risk promoting methods based on weak or screening-only evidence. This Skill enforces a final promotion gate that audits full-budget confirmation results before any method is frozen or any performance claim is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence Audit: Runs an evidence-audit against the baseline, frozen candidate, full results, and proposed claim, verifying that held-out evidence was not used for final selection. - Bounded Claim Writing: Produces a result-to-claim table with the exact supported claim, unsupported extensions, missing evidence, and revised bounded wording. - Decision Routing: Applies audit outcomes to route the workflow — freeze on audit_pass, return to confirmation on audit_fix, or fall back to mapping/literature on audit_fail. - Use Case: After a candidate method passes full-budget confirmation, use this Skill to verify the evidence, record a reproducibility receipt (commit, config, seeds, environment), and decide whether to freeze the method and hand off to paper writing. ## Quick Start Run the promotion review on the confirmed candidate to audit its evidence and decide whether to freeze the method or route it back for correction.

Frequently Asked Questions about promotion-review

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide whether to promote a research candidate after confirmation?▼

Run an evidence audit against the baseline, frozen candidate, full results, and proposed claim. If the audit passes, freeze the method with a bounded claim; if it requires fixes, return to confirmation; if it fails, route back to mapping or literature.

What is a result-to-claim table in research promotion?▼

A result-to-claim table records the exact supported claim, claims not supported, missing evidence, revised bounded wording, and the smallest next evidence that would change the decision. It ensures claims stay within tested datasets, splits, seeds, and budgets.

Can I freeze a method based on screening evidence alone?▼

No. The promotion review explicitly forbids freezing or writing performance claims from screening evidence alone. Only confirmed full-budget evidence that passes the audit can support a frozen method.

What happens when a promotion audit fails?▼

On audit_fail, the workflow transitions from promotion back to mapping or literature, depending on whether a mapped candidate remains. On audit_fix, it returns to confirmation to perform only the named correction or rerun.

When should the governor be consulted during promotion review?▼

Only when a completed deterministic audit leaves two scientifically defensible decisions that materially change what gets frozen. Clear audit_pass, audit_fix, or audit_fail outcomes are never escalated, and integrity findings cannot be overridden.
