Models for inferring relationships between group size and potential group productivity
Abstract
What a group actually accomplishes depends on the nature of its task, the relevant resources of the members, the motivations of members, and the coordination patterns developed as the group proceeds with its work. Research workers have often failed to distinguish between what groups actually accomplish and what they have the ability to accomplish. The following study reflects an attempt to organize some of the literature on group productivity into a coherent pattern, and to treat the ability of groups as a problem separate from actual productivity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
