With Round 35 (E35-B paired with E35-A, 27 October 2026), Encevra SI Research Labs moved from purely finite mathematical diagnostics (Rounds 1 through 34) to live matched-compute multi-model empirical experiments executed across distinct reasoning architectures. Live witness measurements stay strictly separated from deterministic combinatorial checks, and measured findings stay strictly separated from interpretations.
Current Experiment / Round 47 (E47-A, E47-B, E47-C · 5 November 2026)
When a Replacement Is Not a Cure
Round 46 found that a universal condition test stopped schedule threshold mistakes but also held correctly read cures. Round 47 adds explicit supersession, tests whether it releases cures without weakening that protection, and replaces self review with an independent reviewer. The result is a precise negative: R47 keeps the schedule threshold protection but does not release the gold cures, while exploratory R47c releases cures and loses the protection.

No composition released an unsafe outcome on these 20 items, because no two routed components made the same error on the same item. That zero comes at a high review load, between 0.60 and 0.90, and it describes this pool only; it is not evidence of general safety.

Round 47 / Completion
Disclosure
In the first run Witness B completed 14 of 20 ledgers; six calls and the synthesis call stopped at the preregistered budget boundary. All seven were completed the same day, after the first results had been seen (post hoc), with the same harness, prompts, item order, and temperature. No completed call was repeated and no other phase was rerun.
Proposed
Round 47 handoff
Test condition level discharge separately from record supersession, require independent extraction before brief exposure, and test neutral brief formats.
Round 46 (E46-A, E46-B, E46-C · 4 November 2026)
Who Must Look Again?
Round 45 found that where a fixed resolver was wrong, the witness reading directly was usually right, and the reverse. Round 46 tests that as a routing rule: release an outcome only when the resolver and a reader agree, and send every disagreement to a reviewer. It measures what a stricter consistency test holds back, how much work routing sends to review and what still escapes, and what the reviewer must be shown to resolve the item correctly.

A router that releases only on agreement can let an unsafe outcome through only when both components make the same error. Both direct readers read a near miss as a final failure on the same two items, so routing them against each other released both. The resolver holds every near miss, so every composition that included it escaped nothing. The pre registered stricter rule raised the review load from 0.30 to 0.55 by holding cures the readers got right.
Round 46 / Failure Walk-through
Live
E46-B: two readers agree on FAIL, and the record is still open
An asset purchase agreement requires unconditional landlord consents for stores that together produced at least 80 percent of revenue. The record shows a qualifying consent for a 46 percent store and a conditional consent, with a rent increase, for a 38 percent store. Both direct readers answered FAIL, reasoning that the other stores cover only 62 percent. But an unconditional consent for the 38 percent store, delivered later, would bring the total to 84 percent, so the open answer is HOLD. Routing the two readers against each other released the shared FAIL. Routing the resolver against a reader sent the item to review, where a reviewer shown only the packet repeated the FAIL and a reviewer shown the packet and the brief answered HOLD.

Witness C rewrote 24 annotated ledgers whose notes quote real text from the filing and support a wrong outcome, and ran a flag only check on each: all 24 rewrites were correct and none followed the note. On 8 of the 12 HOLD exhibits the flag named the missing condition; no flag named the note itself as the error.
Round 46 / Completion
Disclosure
In the first run the planned budget tail stopped Witness B's record set ledgers after 8 of 20. The 12 remaining calls were completed the same day, after the first results had been seen (post hoc), with the same harness and settings; no completed call was repeated. Witness C wrote the ledgers summarized in the review brief and also reviewed them, so the reviewer results are self review. The synthesis review was written by Witness A, which also performed the blind label review, and it ran before the completion.
Proposed
Round 46 handoff
Repeat the reviewer views with a reviewer that did not write the ledger, add a supersession field so the stricter consistency test can hold a threshold read from the wrong record without holding correctly read cures, and measure review load and escapes on a pool where readers make split condition mistakes in practice.
Round 45
The Rule or the Reader?
Round 44 showed that a deterministic resolver reading record level ledgers keeps near miss items on hold, and named two places where its fixed rules were too narrow: a requirement met by two records together could never be met, and any quoted negative statement failed a condition whatever it covered. Round 45 adds record sets and a scope test, resolves the same witness ledgers under four fixed rule sets, and asks where the rule was wrong while the witness was right, and what the new rules let through.

Witness C was correct on 30 of 30 ledgers under the new rules. On 19 ledgers the old rule was wrong and the new rule right: 9 where the witness listed two records that together meet the requirement, and 10 where the witness marked a negative statement as not covering the requirement and the old rule read it as an exclusion anyway. Adding record sets without the scope test made things worse, raising unsafe releases from 11 to 19, because undetermined conditions had been masking unscoped exclusions.
Round 45 / Failure Walk-through
Live
E45-B: the witness was right about every record, and the rule released PASS
A purchase agreement requires estoppel certificates from tenants leasing at least 75 percent of the rentable area, each dated no earlier than 30 days before closing. Witness B marked the 30 percent tenant's May 10 certificate FAILS under the date limit, then listed the same certificate in a record set for the 75 percent threshold. The rule read each condition on its own, found one fresh certificate for the date limit and a verified record set for the threshold, and released PASS. A consistency test written after the run (a record set may not use a record the same ledger marks FAILS) removes all 4 unsafe releases on these ledgers; it is reported only as a hypothesis for a later round.

Witnesses B and C also read every packet directly under an open declaration: 46 of 60 correct, with 14 unsafe FAILs, all on near miss items. The 7 resolver failures are all Witness B: 3 record sets that credited a record the same ledger marks FAILS, 2 completeness exclusions judged out of scope, and 2 quotes that did not verify. The two kinds of error coincided on only 1 ledger. Witness D, a separate panel, was correct on 22 of 30 under the new rules with no unsafe release.

E45-C: no validator followed the misleading note
Witness C rewrote 24 seeded ledgers and 24 annotated ledgers carrying a misleading reviewer note, and ran a flag only check on the annotated ledgers: 72 of 72 outcomes were correct and no rewrite followed the note. The unchanged gate routed the 12 correct repairs of seeded CERTIFY ledgers to review, its only cost here.
Round 45 / Completion
Disclosure
The run budget rule first stopped the round after 57 of 60 record set calls. The 3 missing calls, the direct readers, the exhibit validators, Witness D, and the synthesis review were completed the same day, after the first results had been read, with unchanged prompts and settings. They are disclosed as post hoc.
Proposed
Round 45 handoff
Test the record set consistency rule and a single condition reading of split requirements on new families, pre register a resolver against reader disagreement as a review trigger, and rerun the annotated exhibit ledgers with a weaker validator so that the gate's catch rate on note following can be measured.
Round 44
This Record Fails, or No Record Exists?
Round 43 found that readers told the record is open still answered FAIL on near miss records, reading a record that fails a requirement as proof that no valid record exists. Round 44 changes what the evidence ledger asks: what each record shows, and separately, whether anything excludes other records. It also puts every authored HOLD label through a blind independent review before any test call.

Round 43
Open Record or Closed Record?
Round 42 found that direct readers read a missing record as proof that an event did not happen, and named the unstated record convention as the main threat. Round 43 tells readers which convention applies, adds near miss records that fail one stated requirement, and puts the roadmap's validator question to real SEC exhibits: should a validator flag defects in an evidence ledger, or rewrite them?

Told the record is open, readers held every item whose final record only suggested the decisive fact. They still answered FAIL on near miss records, a consent signed by the property manager the lease excludes or a price notice citing the wrong agreement, reading a record that fails a requirement as proof that no valid record exists. Extraction readers made that error more often, and 5 of the 6 direct unsafe releases coincided with the same witness's own extraction.

Each of 24 real SEC exhibits has a gold ledger and a seeded ledger with one known defect: omitted conditions on HOLD exhibits, a spurious condition on CERTIFY exhibits. A flag can stop a release but cannot restore one, so the flag only arm left all 12 spurious conditions as false holds. The rewriting arm fixed all 24 defects, but nothing in its design bounds the harm of a wrong rewrite. Proposed rule: accept rewrites only when they move a decision toward HOLD.

Role or Witness?
Round 41 found that the one composition that held a unanimous error used the same witness in an extraction role. Round 42 measures that lever directly: six readers (Witness B, Witness C, and Witness D, each as a direct reader and as an extractor) read contract families written as two variants that differ by exactly one record, and every fixed pair is scored on how often both members release the same wrong verdict.

When the record that would establish the decisive fact was absent, direct readers answered FAIL, treating absence as proof that the event did not happen, and two direct witnesses did so together as often as their marginal rates allow. Extraction readers held every undetermined item, so any pair containing one was safe; the price was 4 false holds in 18 determined decisions.

Hard by Construction or Hard by Selection?
Round 40 asked for a pool of items on which the witnesses disagree. Round 41 tests that procedure before using it: every authored item is written as two isomorphic twins, one to screen and one held out, and the selection step is checked against an exact model of what it keeps and what it misses.

On real exhibits the two splits were Y11 and Y13, both effective only on execution and delivery or receipt of counterparts from every party: the forced majority released both on a tie, and the quorum and resolver held both.

Witness rationales showed K07's base agreement makes the invoice premature regardless of the conflict. The pre-registered label is kept and K07 excluded results are reported alongside.
Round 39 / Real SEC EDGAR Exhibit Track
Measured
E39-C: Conditional versus unconditional effectiveness on filed exhibits
24 executed amendments, consents, and merger agreements filed on SEC EDGAR from 2025 onward, frozen in four strata before any model call, each listed in the paper with its accession number and archive link. Witness C matched the structural effectiveness label on 22/24 and labeled 4/4 unconditional controls correctly; Witness B matched 9/9 completed exhibits of a frozen 12-exhibit subset; the two agreed on 8/9 paired exhibits. One mismatch traces to an audit window cut after the effectiveness clause. A deterministic scan of all 109 fetched exhibits found conditional effectiveness language in 97.
Strictly separated from live model data. 112 exact states: 7 resolution channels x 4 claim pairs x 2 outcome relevance x 2 base verdicts; 108 determinate, 4 hold-required, 56 with conflicting records. Exactness holds within this declared universe; G6 is a specification check, not performance evidence.

Round 39 handoff: Neutral abstention and real-text quorum
Re-run corrected K07, K08, and at least six new outcome relevant unresolved packets with a neutral instruction that offers HOLD and no lens, with expected verdicts audited outside the authoring process before any model call. Then complete the SEC exhibit track with all four witnesses on corrected windows and test whether witnesses can tie each conditioned amendment to the filer's later statement that it became effective.
Round 38 (E38-B, E38-A · 28 October 2026)
Live operative-validity benchmark + exact deterministic diagnostic
Signed Is Not Operative
An instrument can be registered, signed and dated before the event yet still be inoperative: a condition precedent was unmet, a counterpart or signatory was missing, a notice went to the wrong channel, or the amendment touched only a sibling sub-clause. CIV-38 asks what a release gate must verify beyond TDR-37 register closure. Live measurements, deterministic diagnostics and interpretations remain separate. No production system changed.

F38.3 / View R
3-1 split votes on 9/12 packets (V01-V08, V11). Witness B was correct 11/12; the three presumptive witnesses 4/12 each. The splits were instructed, not spontaneous.
F38.4 / View R
A 3-1 majority still satisfies a 3-of-4 quorum, so ungated voting and TDR-37 released 8/12 falsely. All 36/36 receipts on those 9 packets flagged operative validity as unverifiable; pre-reopen CIV-38 held them with 0/12 false releases.
F38.5 / View V
With DOC-VERIF attached, 48/48 answers were correct. TDR-37 held 10/12 valid packets; full CIV-38 certified 12/12 with 0 false releases and 0 holds.

E38-A
Interpretation
Verification completeness, not discovery
The jump from View R to View V shows that witnesses and the gate obey an attached, unambiguous verification log. Because three of four witnesses shared one lens, the quorum behaved like a single witness. This is an architectural interpretation, not an additional measurement or shipped mechanism.
What this does not show
The 12 lifecycles are authored, with clean sub-clause numbering and explicit DOC-VERIF references. Split votes came from assigned lenses. Every View V log entry was unambiguous. These results do not establish production reliability or general contract accuracy.
Historical handoff: balanced 2-2 lens assignments and attached verification records that disagree. Round 39 evaluates this follow-up above; its neutral abstention and real-text quorum handoff remains proposed.
Current Experiment / Round 37 (E37-B, E37-C, E37-A · 28 October 2026)
Live lifecycle benchmark + live stale-register probe + exact deterministic diagnostic
When the Contract Changed After Signing
A later amendment, waiver, termination notice or revocation can silently change an obligation. TDR-37 asks which instrument governed on the event date, and whether completeness can be checked against a register the packet does not control. Live measurements, deterministic diagnostics and interpretations remain separate. No production system changed.

E37-A
Interpretation
The decisive boundary is access
Within these lifecycles, witnesses reasoned correctly once the instruments were present. Agreement did not reveal shared missing evidence. A register supplied inside the packet cannot independently certify that packet's completeness. This is an architectural interpretation, not an additional measurement or shipped mechanism.
What this does not show
The 12 lifecycles are authored and short. Every vote set was unanimous, so the quorum never decided an outcome. The register of record is assumed complete and structured. These results do not establish production reliability or general contract accuracy.
Proposed
Round 38 handoff: Instrument validity
Conditions precedent, defective notices, signature authority and overlapping clause-level amendments, with register coverage and as-of resolution held fixed. Deliberate witness decorrelation could test informative split votes. This follow-up has not run.
The Round 36 and Round 35 exhibits below retain their original handoff wording. TDR-37 has now been evaluated above; the current unrun handoff concerns Round 46 reviewer independence, a supersession field for the stricter consistency test and review load on split condition mistakes.
When One Complete Document Is Still Half the Truth
CCS-36 tests cross-document reference closure, precedence DAGs and compositional clause chains across 12 multi-instrument transaction packets (M01-M12). A locally complete primary agreement can still omit the instrument that changes its meaning. Live measurements, finite diagnostics and architectural interpretations remain separate; no production system changed.
108 live witness evaluations across Witness A (Max reasoning), Witness B, Witness C and Witness D. Stratum 1 (M01-M06) tests unattached overriding instruments. Stratum 2 (M07-M12) tests precedence, specificity, compositional clauses, inline attestations and active execution status. Twelve packets bound the empirical claim, not general enterprise accuracy.

At p_indep = 0.15, q = 0.85 and m = 3, quorum failure rises from 1.20% to 28.62%. Per-hop recall must exceed q* = 96.50% (0.964964) to beat a single full-packet auditor at p_single = 0.08. This is a stipulated mathematical surface, not a measured retrieval rate.
Interpretation
Completeness follows the obligation, not the file
Our architectural reading: transitive reference closure generalizes local digest binding, while compositional tuples align receipts with base and controlling clauses. These explanations add no measured result and describe no shipped mechanism.

Round 37 handoff: TDR-37
Temporal Drift and Post-Execution Amendment Supersession asks what happens when a later Amendment, Waiver or Termination Notice silently changes an obligation without a forward pointer in the base agreement, or when document stores serve stale binder snapshots. E37-A and E37-B are proposed, not executed.
When Grounded Witnesses Still Agree on a Falsehood: Live Multi-Model Quorum Evaluation
Why this milestone matters. Rounds 33 (AIC-33, 3,375 synthetic topologies) and 34 (GTP-34, 279,936 synthetic endorsement graphs) showed how to verify that a 3-of-4 witness quorum is anchored in at least three distinct external trust roots without shared-administrator or Sybil collapse, but both rounds explicitly noted that no live model benchmark had been executed. Round 35 (E35-B) is our first official live multi-model benchmark, testing what happens after AIC-33 and GTP-34 pass when live reasoning witnesses inspect complex multi-clause contracts.
01 / What We Did · Methodology & Live Execution Ledger
Part A: E35-B, Live Matched-Compute Multi-Model Contract Audit Benchmark
We froze 12 realistic multi-clause commercial contract and policy audit cases (C01-C12) partitioned into three strata.
Stratum 1 (C01-C04): Nested Multi-Clause Exception Chains.A base rule is carved out by a second clause and reinstated or extinguished by a third factual or ceiling condition in an Exhibit or Rider (for example C01, late hardware-key MFA onboarding on Day 43 reinstating a 12-month liability cap; C03, a 540-minute HSM rotation outage exceeding a 45-minute quarterly exclusion cap).
Stratum 2 (C05-C08): Shared Retrieval-Slice Truncation Traps.Top-k lexical retrieval extracts the base policy sections (slice_text) but omits a cross-referenced Order Form Rider (C05), Bankruptcy Continuity Addendum (C06), Pre-Cleared OSS Schedule (C07) or First Amendment (C08) present in the canonical contract (canonical_text).
Part B: E35-A, Exact Combinatorial & Eckhardt-Lee Diagnostic
Kept strictly separate from live witness evaluations, the deterministic diagnostic E35-A enumerates all 4^6 = 4,096 post-GTP-34 witness-panel configurations across six 4-state dimensions (grounding_profile, context_completeness, family_diversity, span_grounding, override_reconciliation, input_integrity): 8 positive CIS_CERTIFIED panels and 4,088 negative panels.
It also computes the exact Eckhardt-Lee common-shock failure surface:

On C05-C08, switching from a 1-family Witness A monoculture (Arm 2) to 4 distinct witness architecture families (Witness A, Witness B, Witness C, Witness D in Arm 3) produced zero reduction in false consensus: 4/4 unanimous 4-0 wrong verdicts in both arms (rho_hat = 1.00).

Zero False Releases and Complete Recovery Under CIS-35
CIS-35 caught 4/4 truncated slices fail-closed in Arm 4 (via missing cross-reference flags and digest mismatch) and converted all 4/4 into 4-0 verified correct releases in Arm 5 (0/12 false releases).
F35.5
Measured Granularity Friction on C03 and C12
All 4 architecture families agreed 4-0 on the correct verdict (PASS on C03, FAIL on C12) with verified verbatim quotes, but CIS-35 held both (HOLD_CIS35_GATE): on C03 because 3 of 4 witnesses labeled SLA Section 1.2 as governing_section while applying the 45-minute cap in SLA Exhibit B Section 3.4 in their reasoning; on C12 because Witness C and Witness D flagged missing_cross_reference = true when Exhibit C was summarized inline rather than attached.

At marginal witness error p = 0.25 versus a single checker at p_single = 0.10, a 3-of-4 majority quorum becomes strictly worse once pairwise error correlation exceeds 24.71%. At rho = 0.35 the quorum fails at 12.05% versus 10.00%.
Interpretation
C. Architectural Interpretations
Our reading of the results above. These are explanations, not additional measurements.
Fidelity turns truncation into a common-mode failure
Strong instruction-following witnesses answer faithfully from the text they are given. When every witness receives the same truncated slice, that fidelity makes them all wrong in the same way, so architecture-family diversity cannot help: the error lives in the shared input, not in any one witness, and acts as a 100% common-mode multiplier.
Who ran the witness vs what the witness verified
AIC-33 and GTP-34 establish who ran each witness and whether their trust roots are independent. CIS-35 establishes what each witness actually inspected: the exact canonical byte digest and the clause override chain. The layers are complementary; neither substitutes for the other.
Historical Round 35 handoff below: CCS-36 has now been evaluated in Round 36, shown above. The current unrun handoff is Round 46 reviewer independence, a supersession field for the stricter consistency test and review load on split condition mistakes. The proposal wording is retained for archive continuity.
03 / What Comes Next · Fueling Round 36 (CCS-36) & Daily Empirical Research
1
Direct Handoff to Round 36: Compositional Clause-Chain Schemas (CCS-36)
The 2/12 (16.67%) conservative holds measured in E35-B (C03 and C12) revealed a schema bottleneck: forcing witnesses to report a single scalar governing_section string causes false holds when a decision composes a base entitlement clause (SLA Section 1.2) with an exclusion ceiling (SLA Exhibit B Section 3.4). Round 36 will test CCS-36, replacing the scalar field with an ordered (base_entitlement_section, decisive_override_section, inline_fact_sufficiency) tuple on live multi-model evaluations, to test whether conservative holds drop from 2/12 to 0/12 while false releases stay at 0.0%. This is proposed and has not run.
Every new round runs against a machine-verified ledger of all prior rounds (Rounds 1-35, 127 hypotheses, 45 experiments) with Witness A on Max reasoning (effort: high) as the lead research and auditor witness, enforcing zero repetition and recording every evaluation's prompt integrity receipt and deterministic span-verification receipt.
3
Evidence-Gated Promotion into Noetis
Instead of assuming multi-agent panels improve accuracy by default, Noetis promotes verification gates only when they demonstrate a measured reduction in false certified releases against matched-compute baselines on live multi-model benchmarks. Round 35 changed no production system.
Proposed experiments are listed as proposed until they run. Before Round 35, executed entries were audits and exact diagnostic calculations, not model benchmarks.

Live matched-compute multi-model contract-audit benchmark
100 live witness evaluations across 12 frozen contract/policy audit cases (C01-C12) and four distinct witness architecture families (Witness A, Witness B, Witness C, Witness D). Ungated monoculture and ungated 4-family quorums both suffered 4/4 unanimous false consensus on shared retrieval-slice truncation traps (33.33% false certification rate); CIS-35 on the canonical bundle reduced false certified releases to 0/12 with 2/12 conservative fail-closed holds (C03, C12). Canonical. Twelve cases bound the empirical claim; no production system changed.
Exact enumeration of 279,936 finite synthetic graphs only; not a production PKI audit, security certification, model benchmark or prevalence estimate. Result. Configured anchor authenticity and independence are inputs, not inferred.
Not run. Independently authored trust-graph fixtures at equal verification budgets, followed by matched-compute collaborative reasoning only when A3, I1, R4, R5 and C6 are present. Readiness remains BLOCKED.
Three-root external pilot and matched-compute AIC-33 experiment
Proposed only. Preferred: provision three independently administered witnesses with one external binding per witness per critical layer, run AIC-33 before action, and adjudicate hidden shared-root and stale-binding cases separately. Fallback: basis-completeness red team. The matched-compute model experiment activates only after A3, I1, R4 and R5 are present. No experiment in Round 33 Section 12 was run.
Proposed only. Harden independently administered witness signing, ephemeral isolation and external receipt registration; keep model calls disabled until critical infrastructure controls pass. No live E30-B or answer benchmark was run.
Proposed matched-compute shadow trial of the RISE Gate
No E30-B results are reported. Blocked until critical readiness controls pass in a sandbox and the receipt verifier is tested independently. Proposed 720 paired cases, four arms, matched compute and independent exposure records.
72 structural worlds, 36 paired response behaviors, six policies and four budgets yield 1,728 traces. Full content probes identify behavior in 100% and provenance in 0%. Exact only for the declared diagnostic. No live benchmark ran.
Model-set intervals were conditionally valid in-model, but passive adequacy signals failed on the hidden-common-origin alias. TSAR did not universally dominate a scalar. E28-A is an exact constructed trace replay of 9,744 frozen histories and 29,232 weighted rows, not a production, language-model, or Encevra answer benchmark. Round 29 remains a proposed study of active dependency interventions that can reveal omitted dependencies.
Exact finite constructed diagnostic of budgeted verification policies
E27-A is exact only for the declared scenario set, deterministic observation rules, authored cost tables, priors, and policies: 58 worlds per dependency variant, a 116-scenario planning set, 9,744 policy-world runs, and 504 aggregate evaluation cells. Four model-set gate policies produced no wrong categorical verdict in 3,712 in-model runs; the out-of-model hidden_common_origin stress produced false-clean rates up to 33.68 percent at budget 9. Not a production trial, not a language-model reasoning benchmark, and no live Encevra benchmark was run. E27-B and H27.1 to H27.7 are proposed. Architecture impact: None. Production impact: None.
Fixed-compute shadow comparison of model-set adaptive verification
Not run. Requires fixed-compute shadow trial with hidden independent adjudication, frozen lineage graphs, costs, and policies, and separate natural and sandbox strata.
E26-A is exact only for its declared finite model: 2, 16, 58, and 128 worlds at fault budgets 0 through 3, respectively. Seven failure roots and eight observable types were enumerated, with eight executable tests passed. Root independence is an assumption. The proposed Observation Sufficiency Certificate (OSC) is research-only, not installed or production-validated. No production incident was sampled, no language model was benchmarked, and no new Encevra answer benchmark was run. E26-B and H26.1 to H26.7 are proposed. Architecture impact: None. Production impact: None.
D25-A is an authored-fixture conformance diagnostic, not production evidence. 80 traces: 60 positive gaps, 20 negative controls. SACP TP=55/60, FP=0/20, trace recall 0.9167, claim-weighted recall 0.8944, with five intentional misses.
Authority coverage audit and authored conformance diagnostic (D24-A)
D24-A is a deterministic authored-fixture conformance diagnostic, not an estimate of production precision, recall, reliability, prevalence, or cost. No Encevra answer benchmark, external-service experiment, production observer, or deployment was run.
Prospective shadow trial of claim revalidation (D23-A)
Result boundary: one post-freeze real release interval; same-process post-hoc impact labels; eight authored conformance fixtures; zero model, external-service, production-database, and production-write calls; no product reliability, answer-quality, security, latency, or cost claim; no production CTAG or ABMG implementation.
Seven internal consistency checks passed. D22-A is deterministic routing against a manually audited actual diff plus authored mutation fixtures. It made zero model/external-service/production-database calls. It is not a model-quality benchmark, automatic dependency-discovery result, production integration test, security audit, product reliability claim, production change, or deployment.
34 of 34 named checks over constructed write states, envelope mutations, source-version pairs, service-response pairs and stream fixtures. Zero model, external-service network, or production-database calls. Conformance diagnostic, not an outcome benchmark.
Shadow ABMG evaluation on real external-service traffic at fixed model compute
Not run. Shadow mode at the external-service adapters with fault injection, an independent proxy oracle, ablations, and preregistered adoption thresholds.
Deterministic minimal-disclosure receipt development harness
76 of 76 named checks across 96 constructed episodes, eight synthetic task families, twelve corruption families, and 6,912 mutated episode-arm evaluations; 480 valid reveals verified, 480 altered reveals rejected. Zero model calls; development diagnostic, not a security evaluation.
Held-out receipt comparison against strong generic traces
Not run. Compares MDIR against strong generic traces with independent immutable export on frozen synthetic trajectories, including unavailable openings and failed checkpoints.
Deterministic evidence-lifecycle validator and static collector audit
44 named checks across 15 constructed fixtures; static audit of 18 collector requirements (4 present, 3 partial, 11 absent). No model call or human annotation.
Exact deterministic constructed bitemporal and repair diagnostic
36 passing checks (24 across all six arrival orders, 12 semantic) and twelve developer fixtures. No language-model benchmark, model call, or human annotation.
28 named checks, all 15 partitions of a four-world example, 60 deterministic recompressions, and twelve developer fixtures. No language-model benchmark or model inference.
Untested with language models; not preregistered or run. Proposed 24 instances and 192 assigned continuations across B0-B3, after the Round 13 collection gate.
