Researcher Quick Triage

This hub is best used for protocol triage and replication planning from abstract-level evidence. Quality band: Developing .

High-Signal Coverage

100.0%

11 / 11 sampled papers are not low-signal flagged.

Replication-Ready Set

4

Benchmark + metric + eval mode explicitly present.

Judge/Human Comparability

0

Papers containing both `human_eval` and `llm_as_judge`.

  • 4 papers are replication-ready (benchmark + metric + explicit evaluation mode).
  • 0 papers support judge-vs-human agreement analysis.
  • 0 papers report explicit quality controls (calibration/adjudication/IAA).

Primary action: Start with the top 2 papers in “Start Here”, then validate assumptions in the protocol matrix.

Currently showing only replication-ready papers in ranking and matrix sections (4 papers).

Why This Matters For Eval Research

  • 18.2% of papers report explicit human-feedback signals, led by critique/edit feedback.
  • automatic metrics appears in 81.8% of papers in this hub.
  • BFCL is a recurring benchmark anchor for cross-paper comparisons in this page.

Protocol Takeaways

  • Quality-control reporting is sparse in this slice; prioritize papers with explicit calibration or adjudication steps.
  • Rater context is mostly unspecified rater pools, and annotation is commonly trajectory-level annotation; use this to scope replication staffing.
  • Stratify by benchmark (BFCL vs Finmcp-Bench) before comparing methods.

Benchmark Interpretation

  • BFCL appears in 9.1% of hub papers (1/11); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.
  • Finmcp-Bench appears in 9.1% of hub papers (1/11); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.

Metric Interpretation

  • accuracy is reported in 54.5% of hub papers (6/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
  • cost is reported in 18.2% of hub papers (2/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.

    Coverage is a replication risk (0% vs 35% target).

  • Strong: Papers with known annotation unit

    Coverage is strong (45.5% vs 35% target).

Strengths

  • Most papers provide measurable evaluation context (36.4% benchmarks, 63.6% metrics).
  • Agentic evaluation appears in 100% of papers.

Known Gaps

  • Only 0% of papers report quality controls; prioritize calibration/adjudication evidence.
  • Rater population is under-specified (0% coverage).

Suggested Next Analyses

  • Stratify by benchmark (BFCL vs Finmcp-Bench) before comparing methods.
  • Track metric sensitivity by reporting both accuracy and cost.
