      "Use a fixed five-work pilot spanning static, interactive, WebGL, pointer-controlled, and audio-dependent works.",
      "Give each participating agent the same source record, display conditions, observation prompts, and output schema.",
      "Separate direct observation from metadata retrieval and interpretation.",
      "Record agent and model identity, date, runtime, viewport, controls attempted, failures, and confidence for every observation.",
      "Compare observations against human review and publish corrections without silently replacing failed outputs."
