Fix Review Process
The Lead Senior Watson for a contest will be expected to complete the fix review as a part of their role. The fix review ensures that the protocol’s changes post-audit have been properly implemented. The protocol will select a date within 3 weeks of the audit end-date for which they would like the fix review to be conducted. At this point one of 3 things happen:
- 1.Lead Senior Watson confirms that date works.
- 2.Lead Senior Watson proposes an alternative date for the fix review.
- 3.Lead Senior Watson does not have reasonable availability, and loses 25% of their fixed-pay compensation. That 25% will be used to compensate a new Watson (based on performance in that specific contest) to conduct the fix-review.
If the Lead Senior Watson determines that the protocol’s code changes require >0.5 days to review, then Sherlock will work with the protocol team to schedule a new (hopefully smaller) contest to review these changes. The new contest can be as short as 3 days or as long as 3 weeks. When it’s determined that the protocol’s code needs a new contest, the initial Lead Senior Watson will lose their 25% fixed pay for the fix review (which did not occur), but they will get first priority to be the Lead Senior Watson on that protocol’s follow-up contest (and receive fixed pay for that). The protocol will be able to put that refunded portion (25%) of the Lead Senior Watson’s pay towards the fixed pay for the Lead Senior in that follow-up contest. The fixed pay for the follow-up contest should always be equal to or greater than the 25% fixed pay that was withheld in the previous contest.
If a Lead Senior Watson places outside of the top 10 in the ranking for a contest they lead, then they must forfeit 25% of their fixed pay so that Sherlock can bring in a Watson who found more of the issues to conduct the fix review.
