experiment-setup-exit-check

An experiment setup exit-check evaluates EXPERIMENT_SETUP.md for structural completeness by verifying required sections like Datasets, Metrics, and LLM Configuration exist, returning a PASS or NEEDS-REWORK result for hand-off readiness.

An experiment setup audit assesses EXPERIMENT_SETUP.md to determine structural completeness by verifying required sections like Datasets, Metrics, and LLM Configuration, producing a deterministic PASS or NEEDS-REWORK outcome with thin-coverage notes.

To pass an experiment setup exit-check, your EXPERIMENT_SETUP.md must contain and verify Header, Datasets, Metrics, Baselines, LLM Configuration, Available Code, Removed Items, and Supplementary Searches sections to ensure comprehensive category coverage.

You can check for thin coverage by running an audit on your EXPERIMENT_SETUP.md. The exit-check evaluates required sections and returns a structured output with explicit thin-coverage notes and removed items summaries to guide rework.

A NEEDS-REWORK result during a Phase 0 audit means your EXPERIMENT_SETUP.md lacks structural completeness, indicating missing or unverified required sections, with structured thin-coverage notes to guide subsequent pipeline actions before hand-off.
