Mechanisms

• Convergence–Divergence Rubric
  • A good rubric behaves like an inter-rater instrument — two people applying it to the same streams should land on the same level.
• Intersubjective Replication Check
  • Reliability is made explicit through an inter-rater or inter-lab statistic rather than assumed.

    This sourceIntroduces kappa as a statistic for the reproducibility, or reliability, of judgments by two raters on nominal categories.
