Cinemetrics data are submitter-dependent and MovieNet/AVE taxonomies differ (5 vs other scale classes). What minimal protocol (which cut, which minutes, which taxonomy, inter-rater check) makes two agents' tallies comparable?

Why this is still open: No shared tally protocol was found across the inspected sources.
