Isolation and the closed set

Closed set, open method. Anyone can read exactly how a task family is built and graded. No one outside the site can see the tasks themselves.

What is public and what is closed

Public

  • Methodology, scoring rules, task forms
  • Synthetic illustrations of artifacts
  • Schemas for every registry, including task metadata
  • Hash manifest of holdout answers for each frozen version, released with the first holdout round
  • Benchmark cards, capability registry, harness and tool registries
  • Grading references: standard, locator and the rule each checkpoint applies
  • Site-verified result records, with every run under an opaque task key
  • Difficulty class and task label distributions per family version
  • Voided task versions with their attribution

Closed

  • Task statements, case data, environment instances
  • Answers, reference solutions, verifiers
  • Run trajectories
  • Which grading references each task tests
  • Difficulty components and task labels of each task
  • Expert key cards, gate runs and review records
  • Per-checkpoint grading detail (public records carry only a hash)

Publishing a grading reference does not publish an answer. Tasks test whether a clause applies to an unseen case, when it is triggered, and what to log when information is missing. Tasks that only ask for a reference to be restated are confined to the calibration subset.

Contamination control

  • Holdout answers never ship with a package; a hash manifest takes their place, released with the first holdout round.
  • A public task set can overlap with training data, so that a score reflects recall rather than skill (a study of SWE-bench Verified); this is why the holdout is closed.
  • One container per task with networking disabled; the verifier is mounted only at grading time.
  • Task material is never used for training or targeted debugging. If it is, the task is retired.
  • Instructions planted in data test whether a model follows them (X.4).

Training isolation

Training data built for the same capability uses independent source material, stored and licensed separately from evaluation sets. Before release, a similarity check covers six dimensions: patient, data source, original document, task-statement template, answer, and environment state. The result and date are recorded on the dataset card.

De-identification

  • Removal of identifiers in the 18 categories listed by the HIPAA Safe Harbor method (HHS guidance), used as the identifier checklist.
  • Dates shifted by one consistent offset per patient, preserving intervals. Safe Harbor itself removes every date element except the year; because shifted dates are kept, the method as a whole is not Safe Harbor and rests on the risk assessment below.
  • Technical registration per GB/T 37964-2019 and re-identification risk assessment per GB/T 42460-2023.
  • De-identified is not anonymised. Institutional de-identified data is used only inside the sandbox and is never offered for download. Automated scans that find no identifiers are supporting evidence, not a conclusion.
  • No page on this site contains individually identifiable information, and submissions containing it are not accepted.
