select-experimental-baseline

Purpose

Select fair SOTA/simple/oracle/control baselines with provenance and rationale matched to the experimental claim.

Input contract

required: [experimental_claim, candidate_baselines, protocol_context]
optional: [evidence, assumptions, prior_results]
constraints: [use named scientific objects; retain provenance and missingness; $\alpha$ = 0.05 and power = 0.8 where applicable]

Procedure

1. Validate the typed inputs and state the decision this operation must support.
2. Apply the declared operation to the named object; record intermediate values that affect interpretation.
3. Check boundary conditions and counterexamples, then emit the result with uncertainty and source links.
