AI Model Release Claim Evaluation Framework
Confidence in an AI release claim requires a stable system identity, inspectable artifacts, a complete protocol, raw results, relevant comparisons, limitations, and independent replication.
| Gate | Required evidence |
|---|---|
| Claim | Exact wording, speaker, date, scope, and comparison |
| Identity | Model, revision, weights, adapter, quantization, endpoint, provider, router, and wrapper |
| Artifacts | License, model card, code, data record, prompts, scorer, environment, and hashes |
| Protocol | Dataset version, preprocessing, shots, template, decoding, seeds, exclusions, and metric |
| Results | Raw outputs, errors, uncertainty, subgroup results, and failed cases |
| Independence | Comparable external run with disclosed deviations |
| Relevance | Intended task, risk, cost, latency, privacy, safety, and use conditions |
A failed replication can lower confidence in a benchmark claim without proving misconduct. A successful benchmark can increase confidence in a narrow result without proving product quality or deployment fitness.
The final record should assign a confidence level, list unresolved questions, and define the evidence that would change the decision.
