Reproducibility Package for "Case-Level Selective Certification Under Joint Knowledge-Base Uncertainty: A Framework for Expert-Authored Rankers

Sep 2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

This repository contains the public-safe reproducibility materials supporting the manuscript “Case-Level Selective Certification Under Joint Knowledge-Base Uncertainty: A Framework for Expert-Authored Rankers.” The package supports a case-level selective-certification framework for deterministic expert-authored rankers under joint knowledge-base uncertainty. The repository includes the frozen knowledge configuration, deterministic ranking generator, joint-audit implementation, definitions of the 324 principal configurations, synthetic test fixtures and expected outputs, aggregate policy-comparison results, uncertainty-source decomposition, hierarchical destabilization summaries, held-out interpolation and wider stress-test definitions, missing-evidence audit summaries, reproducibility hashes, software-environment information, and scalability records. The empirical application uses 12,974 de-identified undergraduate engineering records from four institutions, 27 evidence variables, and 11 expert-defined operational priority categories. Student-level institutional records, row-level certificates, raw evaluator-response records, consent records, and other access-controlled materials are not included in this public repository because of privacy, consent, and institutional-governance requirements. These materials are provided to support verification and reproducibility of the computational framework. They do not constitute an independently validated practical-skill criterion and should not be interpreted as evidence of educational or employment effectiveness.Version 1.2.0 update: This version adds the aligned conventional finite worst-case comparator, formal boundary guards and adversarial tests, updated reproducibility materials, and manuscript-to-artifact traceability supporting the V19 manuscript.

The impact of agile practices on communication in software development

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.
