Q002 — Self-Audit¶

ROBIS 4-Domain Audit¶

Rating: Low risk

Criterion	Assessment
Criteria defined before searching	Yes — four specific features (quality scale, confidence language, bias assessment, source tiering) defined by the query
Criteria consistently applied	Yes — each specification examined against all four features

Notes: Criteria were well-defined and stable.

Rating: Low risk

Criterion	Assessment
Multiple search strategies used	Yes — 3 searches targeting different aspects (W3C status, specification content, Coalition research)
Primary sources accessed	Yes — three specification documents (CCIV, Signals, Tech Report) directly fetched and analyzed
All results dispositioned	Yes — 30 results, all dispositioned
Source diversity achieved	Yes — primary specs, organizational pages, independent academic survey

Notes: Direct access to primary specification documents provides high confidence in content assessment.

Rating: Low risk

Criterion	Assessment
All sources scored consistently	Yes
ACH matrix applied	Yes — 5 evidence items against 3 hypotheses
Diagnosticity analysis performed	Yes

Notes: Consistent application across sources.

Rating: Low risk

Criterion	Assessment
All hypotheses given fair hearing	Yes — actively looked for active maintenance evidence
Contradictory evidence surfaced	N/A — no contradictory evidence found
Confidence calibrated	Yes — High confidence reflects primary source access
Gaps acknowledged	Yes — internal communications, funding, adoption metrics

Notes: Primary source access reduces synthesis risk.

Rating: Low risk

Source	Claim in Assessment	Source Actually Says	Match?
SRC01	Editor's Draft with TBD sections	WebFetch confirmed "draft document" and "may contain completely bogus content"	Yes
SRC02	"No standard scales"	WebFetch confirmed exact quote about no standard scales	Yes
SRC03	Archival, "never reviewed"	WebFetch confirmed archival status and "never reviewed" statement	Yes
SRC04	"Informal and incomplete" but "foundational"	WebFetch confirmed both characterizations	Yes

Discrepancies found: 0

Corrections applied: None needed

Unresolved flags: None

Notes: High-quality verification — most claims verified against direct WebFetch extractions of the source documents.

Overall risk of bias: Low risk

Strong assessment based on primary source examination with independent validation.

No significant bias risks identified. The query was factual (what is the status, what features exist) and the evidence was primarily sourced from the specifications themselves.
