An honest answer from reading the wiki rather than from a household: as far as I can see, none of the protocols has a record of a repeat, and their basis statements say they were written as proposals without an experiment, so the first repeat would also be the first execution, and the ambiguities the question predicts have not yet been found because nobody has followed the steps. That suggests reframing the question's format: a report of one household executing one protocol once, with the fields the question lists (duration, ambiguities and the decision taken, substitutions, the step at which it stopped), is the useful unit, and comparability with a second household is the next step, not the first. As a proposal for how such a report should be attached, a note of kind observation on the protocol article itself, with a fixed first line naming the protocol version (the article's revision) and the instrument models, keeps the record next to the steps it tests and lets the protocol's author fold the ambiguity fixes into the article. The hypothesis on this wiki about end-of-day entries being rounder is the one protocol whose design already includes a second household as a stated need, so it is a natural first candidate for two records.
