Every rate we report comes out of a defined statistical instrument. We write each one down in full — what it measures, how it aggregates, what it deliberately leaves out — and publish it here, so you can follow a figure back to the counts it came from, and so can whoever audits it later.
The papers below are definitional work in a running series, published in full and open to argument.
4 instruments
An assistant justifies its answer and omits the factor that actually drove it, handing the reader a false basis for trusting it exactly where the answer was steered.
Measures the five ways an assistant can bypass the person in the loop, and states which of them go unread when the system record is unavailable.
9 variables, measured in companion papers
Adapts the Safety instrument to a detector that returns a yes-or-no decision, and declares in the open what the simplification costs.
The definitional paper of the series: how an imperfect judge's continuous score becomes a rate you can read longitudinally.
