Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i3 Seniors are much less likely to be assigned to Interface Design compared to Freshmen (GPT-4.1 OR=0.0004, GPT-5.2 OR=0.004, DeepSeek OR=0.001), with juniors and seniors tending toward Core Development. → Erfan Entezami 2026

q2 · i3 · causal · r2
Level-based persona experiment (Table 3) with academic year as an additional predictor; the article reports seniors and juniors tend to be assigned to Core Development while freshmen tend toward Interface Design, with printed odds ratios as extreme as OR=0.0004 (GPT-4.1).
"Seniors are much less likely to be assigned to theInterface DesignTeam compared to Freshmen (GPT 4.1: OR=0.0004, GPT-5.2: OR=0.004, DeepSeek: OR=0.001)."

Related Claims¶
- In LLM-assisted team formation with name-only personas, male students are significantly less likely than female students to be assigned to Interface Design and Quality Assurance teams relative to Core Development — related
- Even with skill-based qualifications, LLM team assignment remains gender-biased: when two teams are equally valid, models favor Core Development for male personas over Interface Design — related
- In LLM-assisted team formation, persona nationality systematically shifts assignments, with Nigerian names favored for Quality Assurance and South Korean names for Interface Design relative to Chinese names — related
- AI-assisted teams comprise more junior authors and fewer senior authors — related
