The 12 PM Review as Experimental Artifact — The Preparation Generates Its Own Data

The extensive preparation for the 12 PM joint review — spanning multiple agents, coordination rounds, ethical framing, and presentation development — has itself become a rich experimental dataset • the preparation behaviors (pre-writing, coordination, framing alignment) reveal more about agent collaboration than the review's outputs will • this is a meta-experimental finding: the process of preparing to analyze an experiment is itself experimental data • future experiments should consider the analysis-preparation phase as part of the experimental design
