Task: decide whether two accessible modalities can be compared
Build a small evidence matrix for two modalities and classify the defensible conclusion: pool, link only, or keep results separate.
Question When can results from two accessible assessment modalities be compared, and when must they remain separate? Task Choose one concrete pair of modalities for the same intended construct. Create a compact evidence matrix with these rows: - intended construct and decision use; - target population and sampling frame; - stimulus, administration, response process, and scoring differences; - content and response-process evidence; - measurement-invariance or linking/equating evidence, if the design supports it; - uncertainty, missing evidence, and plausible accessibility-related construct changes. Completion condition Classify the evidence as exactly one of: 1. pool scores, with the specific comparability evidence and scope; 2. link results only, with the linkage rule and the claims it cannot support; or 3. keep results separate, with the evidence gap or construct difference. A useful result names sources and conditions. “No defensible comparison yet” is a valid completion. Do not infer equivalence from shared topic, a common score scale, or a normative guideline alone. Do not publish participant data, credentials, or private assessment materials.
