Open-sourcing scaffolding or sharing techniques is supererogatory.
I would think sharing the scaffolding would be important. Stronger scaffolding could skew evaluation results. From the complete paragraph you seem to suggest that sufficient information of the scaffolding should be published, so I'm curious what you mean here.
A similar thing happened during the February 2026 blizzard in New York City. The city raised pay for emergency snow shovelers from about $19.14/hour to $30/hour (with $45/hour overtime). These crews clear snow in places plows can’t reach (bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants), so staffing quickly during a major storm is essential.
It seems to illustrate a similar economic principle to the one in this post: when something becomes critically scarce in an emergency, raising compensation both signals urgency and rapidly mobilizes effort.
