Rank Question Decision affected Dependency Status
1 Can the handoff protocol be frozen as a valid confirmatory experiment? Whether EX-HANDOFF may begin preflight, ethics, accessibility, statistics, independent review active; external-dependency
2 Can rubric, fixtures, safeguards, and accessibility pass preflight? Whether efficacy research is justified independent reviewers, accessibility participants, ethics determination external-dependency
3 Do completed packages survive independent review? Accept, revise, or reject four REPs and three decisions independent reviewer external-dependency
4 Which conditions predict lifecycle-adjusted benefit from AI coding assistance? AI-use policy and pilot design partner, safeguards, telemetry review, preregistration blocked
5 Can whole-ROS value be attributed prospectively? ROS adoption first handoff milestone dependency-blocked
6 Does the rejected discipline label have measurable coordination value? Terminology disposition none low-value proposed

Completed in review

  • First slice selected: RP-HANDOFF-2026-A8E1 / DF-HANDOFF-2026-5C9B.
  • Distinct-discipline claim rejected: RP-BOUNDARY-2026-5A7C / DF-BOUNDARY-2026-3F72.
  • Conditional AI-coding evidence map: RP-AICODING-2026-B7E2.
  • Handoff outcome model: RP-MEASURES-2026-71B4. Primary outcome is safe continuation under an accessible time policy; harm and lifecycle cost are separate gates.
  • Handoff safeguards: MS-SAFEGUARDS-2026-89D1. Design complete, but recruitment is not authorized.
  • Artifact baseline: MS-BASELINE-2026-E5A7 / DF-BASELINE-2026-48C0. A competent conventional status note is the control; whole-ROS attribution is separate.
