docs: expand references with the code-review + LLM research bubo rests on - #154
Merged
Conversation
…s on The "Research & academic" section listed only a launch-timing preprint, while the code-review evidence that actually backs the overview metrics sat orphaned in a footnote. Consolidate and expand it, grounded in bubo's real mechanisms: - Code review & quality: Fagan 1976, Kemerer & Paulk 2009, McIntosh et al. 2014, SmartBear/Cisco — the defect-reduction premise and the ~200–400 LoC/hr review rate the overview estimates use. - Modern tool-based review: Bacchelli & Bird 2013, Sadowski et al. 2018 — the basis for inline posting, outcome tracking, tone, gate/collaborate. - LLM methods bubo implements: Guo et al. 2017 (calibration → calibrate_confidence), Wang et al. 2023 (self-consistency → verify_min_votes), Zheng et al. 2023 (LLM-as-judge → verifier lenses). - New "Cost & pricing data" section surfacing the BLS wage + peer-tool list pricing behind the overview's dollar figures. Every citation verified (venue/year/DOI); each mapped to a real feature.

The References → Research & academic section listed only a launch-timing preprint, while the code-review evidence that actually backs the overview metrics sat orphaned in the metrics footnote (
[1]–[4]). This consolidates and expands it — every citation verified (venue/year/DOI) and mapped to a real bubo mechanism.Added
Code review & software quality (backs the overview's reviewer-hour/defect estimates)
Modern, tool-based code review (why bubo posts inline, tracks outcomes, offers tone + gate/collaborate)
LLM methods bubo implements
calibrate_confidence/ confidence floorsverify_min_votesNew "Cost & pricing data" section — surfaces the BLS May-2024 wage and peer-tool list pricing behind the overview's dollar figures (data sources, labelled as such).
Framing is honest: the footnote sources demonstrably back the overview numbers; the SE + LLM papers are the research the corresponding mechanisms rest on.
Verification
next build(NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/bubo) green; all 16 pages export; references page renders all new citations.
