Evaluation protocol

Status: not yet written. Roadmap item v0.3 ("Freeze scoring protocol").

This document will specify, once the evaluation set is frozen:

• exactly how to run a system against eval_unscripted.jsonl and produce a report,
• the scoring implementation used (score_asr.py, kb_io.py) and its pinned dependency versions,
• how raw vs. normalized CER/WER are computed and reported side by side,
• how dialect-level, domain-level, speaker-level, and read-vs-spontaneous breakdowns are produced,
• the confidence-interval / significance-testing method used when comparing two systems, and
• the exact command(s) needed to reproduce any published number end to end.
