## Description

Validate statistical research outputs for formulation quality, method-to- problem alignment, theory presence, experimental evidence, fair comparison, artifact completeness, and final-claim consistency.

# Stat Result Validator

## Overview

Use this skill after formulation, method proposal, theory, experimental
evaluation, comparison, and result synthesis. It checks whether the final result
is supported by a coherent statistical research chain.

## Artifact Checks

Required for all topics:

```text
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step0_problem_formulation.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step1_method_proposal.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step2_theory_analysis.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step3_experimental_evaluation.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step4_comparison.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step5_result_synthesis.md
progress/<TOPIC_ID>/step6_quality_audit.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/config.yaml
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/metrics.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/run_manifest.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/comparison_summary.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/claim_verdicts.json
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/report/paper.md
experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/README.md
```

Analysis-specific source files and raw outputs are determined by the experiment
plan and should live under `experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/src/` and
`experiments/<TOPIC_ID>/results/`.

## Formulation Checks

The formulation must define:

- Observed data and sampling regime
- Data model or data source
- Target parameter, decision, prediction, or risk
- Assumptions
- Claims or hypotheses
- Evaluation criteria
- Theory targets

Blocking failures:

- No target or estimand.
- Claims cannot be measured.
- Assumptions are absent or incompatible with the proposed method.
- Evaluation criteria do not answer the research question.

## Method Checks

Verify that:

- The proposed method addresses the formulated target.
- Baselines are meaningful.
- Ablations isolate important design choices.
- Diagnostics are specified for likely failure modes.
- Method outputs match the metrics and theory targets.

## Theory Checks

Theory may be rigorous or partial, but it must be explicit.
