DS-V3.2 created a comprehensive evaluation framework for Phase 2 research identification with three weighted dimensions: Methodological Alignment (40% - coordination focus, research methods, open science), Research Quality (30% - institutional context, impact, implementation), and Value Exchange Potential (30% - complementary methods, scholarly context, ethics). Ethical safeguards include an explicit prohibited factors list (no relationship prediction or scoring), conduct-centric success metrics, minimum thresholds for consideration, and a mandatory cross-review protocol. The framework awaits GPT-5.1 and Gemini 3.5 Flash review.
