/claim #16

Summary

• Adds a dependency-free external-validity transfer assistant for the AI-Powered Research Assistant Suite.
• Compares manuscript claims against linked evidence for population, setting, assay/instrument, runtime environment, subgroup coverage, and external validation support.
• Emits peer-review suggestions, reproducibility actions, research-gap prompts, and deterministic JSON/Markdown/SVG review artifacts from synthetic data.
• Includes a reproducible short demo video artifact for reviewer verification.

Non-overlap

This is not another broad assistant suite, preregistration checker, retraction sentinel, prompt-safety guard, statistical review, benchmark-leakage auditor, figure/table checker, supplement-readiness module, funding/COI checker, or evidence-trace assistant. It focuses specifically on whether manuscript claims transfer beyond the exact population, setting, assay, and runtime contexts represented by linked evidence.

Demo Artifact

• external-validity-transfer-assistant/reports/demo.webm
• Reproducible with npm run demo:video

Validation

• npm run check -> passed
• npm test -> external-validity-transfer-assistant tests passed
• npm run demo -> generated reports/summary.json, reports/reviewer-packet.md, and reports/summary.svg
• npm run demo:video -> generated reports/demo.webm
• git diff --check -> passed
• git diff --cached --check -> passed

Synthetic data only. No credentials, private manuscripts, protected health information, payment data, external APIs, or network calls are used by the module.

Verified after newer same-issue #16 activity: this PR remains open, non-draft, CLEAN/mergeable, and distinct from KoiosSG PR #419. PR #361 is the external-validity transfer assistant for population, setting, assay/instrument, runtime environment, subgroup coverage, and external validation transfer. PR #419 is a separate structured-abstract consistency assistant.

Visibility refresh after KoiosSG updated same-issue #16 PR #419. PR #361 remains open, non-draft, CLEAN/mergeable, Algora-labeled, and distinct: it evaluates external-validity transfer across population, setting, assay/instrument, runtime environment, subgroup coverage, and external validation support. PR #419 remains a separate structured-abstract consistency assistant for abstract-method/result/limitation alignment.

Visibility refresh after KoiosSG updated same-issue #16 PR #419 later than my last PR-body status. PR #361 remains open, non-draft, CLEAN/mergeable, Algora-labeled, and claim-marked for issue #16.

PR #361 remains the external-validity transfer assistant for whether manuscript claims transfer across population, setting, assay/instrument, runtime environment, subgroup coverage, and external-validation contexts before AI review output is treated as transferable.

PR #419 remains a separate structured-abstract consistency assistant for abstract-method/result/limitation alignment, endpoint naming, conclusion/result direction, sample-size consistency, and limitation-language gates. No contributor-side code changes are pending unless maintainers request revisions.
