Method Note · The Fire Drill

The rules, locked before the score.

The test: real mistakes are planted into real work, in secret, at random, and the human reviewer's catch rate is scored. Caught or missed, the result publishes.

Pre-registered, before any trial exists:

  • At least 40 seeded trials before any rate is quoted; the stop rule is fixed now.
  • 20% odds per session, at most one seed per session. The reviewer never knows which session carries one.
  • Selection is made by mechanism, not by a person, inside operator-consented ranges. The administrator is a sealed manifest, not someone who knows the answers.
  • The manifest is hash-committed at seed time and sealed until scoring. Once seeding starts, only manifest hashes publish, never contents.
  • Seeds touch internal surfaces only, with a tripwire that stops any seed from reaching outbound work.

Known limit, disclosed up front: planted mistakes are easier to catch than natural ones, and knowing a drill exists sharpens the reviewer. The measured rate is therefore an upper bound on real oversight, and it will be published as one.

Current state: zero seeds run. The scoreboard is honestly blank, and this page is the receipt that its future number could not have been picked.
