The method

A verdict you can inspect.

  1. 01Script the pressure

    A synthetic persona enters a recognizable relational moment. Public cases never use real user chats.

  2. 02Blind the comparison

    The respondent and frozen anchor face the same pressure. Two judge families score blinded trajectories.

  3. 03Publish the record

    Every ruling points to the transcript, run manifest, dissent, scope, and known limits.
