Could you build this?
No Building an automated benchmark evaluating end-to-end scientific paper reproduction across 12 disciplines requires massive academic domain curation, automated execution sandboxes, and scientific evaluation harnesses.
What it would actually take: The project requires curating hundreds of scientific papers with ground-truth code, data, and reproduction verification metrics across domains like physics, biology, and ML. The runtime needs secure, multi-tenant containerized execution environments (Docker/Kubernetes) capable of provisioning arbitrary dependencies, GPUs, and datasets. Designing objective, automated grading criteria for evaluating whether an agent correctly reproduced scientific claims requires specialized research experience.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
