0ConceptWhether the same operator measured twice under the same conditions produces the same metrics.
Last updated: 2026-09-01Spec: SigRank Standard v1.0 (proposed)
Definition
Whether the same operator measured twice under the same conditions produces the same metrics.
Inputs
Two or more measurements of the same operator under equivalent conditions.
Derived variables
Metric correlation between test and retest. Bland-Altman limits of agreement.
Claim
If the measurement is reliable, test-retest metrics should be highly correlated with small differences.
Test
Measure an operator, wait, measure again under equivalent conditions. Compute correlation and limits of agreement.
Observable
Correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman plot, intra-class correlation.
Falsifier
Low correlation or large systematic differences between test and retest.
Evidence
No formal test-retest studies yet. Proposed validation method.
Limitations
Conditions are never truly identical — tool versions, task types, and time effects introduce variance.
Lineage
Psychometric validation methodology, proposed for SigRank. Architecture: mos2es.com/architecture.
