I also could deduce that quality means getting rid of WIA and NRS in my program. Again would this satisfy DOE?

As a practitioner, your "wisdom" would only be part of a picture.  You would need to place that under the tutelage of a scientific researcher who would conduct an experimental design.  Ideally, your wisdom would add confirmation to the research.  If not, your wisdom might be factored in to the construction of a more perfect design, which perhaps a more rigorously trained scientist would conduct.  There is a singular gold standard and that has already been defined as "experimental design."  Your wisdom would play a role, but it would fall perhaps under the category of the clay standard along with case study ethnographic research and folk psychology.  Otherwise, your "wisdom" could too easily be conflated with the "guru principle."  It says so in some of the literature.
