Design and validity review for studies that benchmark one or more AI systems against a human-expert panel as the reference. Covers the evaluation question and arm definition, decoupled multi-dimensional rubrics with anchors, planted calibration probes, reviewer-panel construction, inter-rater reliability targets, LLM-as-judge versus human-as-judge adjudication, construct-independence guards, and a structured rating-export schema. Use before data collection on an AI-vs-expert evaluation.
