Join us in advancing temporal validation research
We welcome replication, extension, and critique.
The Temporal Validation Impact framework is an active research program. We seek collaboration with:
The strongest test: rank novel entities by TVI today, measure persistence at 1, 5, and 10 year intervals. We propose a registered study tracking 100 entities across domains.
Test whether observers with different τ profiles make systematically different forecasts. Hypothesis: high-V observers outperform on long-horizon outcomes; low-V observers outperform on short-horizon outcomes.
Adapt TVI framework to additional domains: scientific papers, patents, policy frameworks, music, art, social movements.
Improve Account Factor estimates through user surveys; validate Structural Resistance Coefficients through historical analysis.
Upon request, we provide:
The TVI Calculator is publicly available for academic use. Researchers receive:
Full replication package available for peer review and validation studies.
If you use the TVI framework in your research, please cite:
Preprint available at: Full Paper
Validate methodology, run replication studies, extend to new domains
Apply TVI at scale, test predictions, improve parameter estimates
Incorporate TVI into courses, supervise thesis work, co-author papers
Test ISPS in real portfolios, validate staying power predictions
Score historical collections, identify preservation priorities
Use TDIS for dataset selection, improve training data quality
