Authorized sampling, custody, and governance practitioners must supply and approve realistic rules, states, comparators, and acceptance decisions."},"safe_authorized_first_step":{"status":"YES","reason":"The proposed first step uses only 200 fictional units, two non-live backends, opaque handles, no participant contact, explicit stop conditions, and authorized role review; live frames and recruitment remain unchanged."},"bounded_decisive_empirical_design":{"status":"YES","reason":"The two-week trial freezes the contract, compares the current file-coupled workflow with opaque-contract adapters over prespecified transformations and at least 1,000 seeds, injects known defects, measures contract-visible outputs and leakage, and defines explicit pass and falsification conditions."},"no_material_negative_gate":{"status":"YES","reason":"All substantive pipeline gates are YES. Cost scope is uncertain, but the bounded synthetic trial is sufficiently scoped and cost uncertainty is not being used as the basis for qualification."},"not_merely_more_research":{"status":"YES","reason":"The next step is an executable partner-reviewed prototype and comparator trial with fixed inputs, mutant adapters, measurable outputs, and predetermined acceptance thresholds rather than an open-ended request for further research."}},"uncertainty_types":["ADOPTER_PULL","INCREMENTAL_EFFECT","WORKFLOW_FIT","COST_SCOPE"],"partner_profile":"A multi-wave household survey organization or official statistical agency with an authorized sampling statistician, sampling-frame custodian, research data engineer, and ethics, privacy, or community-governance representative empowered to approve unit-identity and eligibility semantics.","required_access":"Part-time access to those authorized practitioners for a two-week synthetic workshop and trial, including their approved sampling rules, realistic but fictionalized frame-state patterns, incumbent file-coupled procedure as comparator, governance review of mappings, and authority to accept, reject, or redesign the synthetic contract; no live participant records or recruitment access is required.","bounded_empirical_test":"Freeze a contract for 200 fictional units, independently encode the intended frame as a shuffled flat file and normalized relational store, and run the incumbent file-coupled workflow and opaque-contract adapters across at least 1,000 prespecified seeds. Test row permutation, lossless reserialization, internal-key replacement, insertion of ineligible records, and duplicate consolidation; compare unit sets, states, selections, inclusion probabilities, errors, mutations, leakage, and contact side effects. Include defective adapters for order dependence, duplicate chances, state collapse, partial draws, and identifier leakage.","success_condition":"Every legitimate representation-only transformation preserves all contract-visible results; every selected unit is eligible; no error produces a partial sample, mutation, or contact event; all injected defects are detected; leakage probes reveal no source identifiers or structure; and authorized reviewers can map every valid synthetic state without technical staff concealing or deciding a substantive identity or eligibility judgment.","falsification_condition":"Falsify or materially redesign the claim if any legitimate transformation changes a snapshot, draw, probability, error, or side effect; any injected defect survives; a leakage probe recovers protected source information; independently conforming backends diverge on held-out cases; or authorized reviewers identify a valid state that cannot be represented without collapsing a meaningful distinction or making an unauthorized substantive decision.","rationale":"This is a narrow empirical-partner candidate because credible external evidence establishes the underlying frame-integrity problem and adjacent prior art leaves a concrete behavioral-conformance claim unresolved. The uncertainty cannot be settled by public research alone: it requires implementing two backends and an oracle, testing them against comparators and injected defects, and obtaining authorized practitioner judgment on whether the abstraction fits real sampling governance. The first test is safe, bounded, reversible, and decisive for the incremental claim, while adopter pull, production workflow fit, and costs remain later uncertainties."}
