Verification Ledger

Every headline number, its source, and the command that reproduces it.

Every headline number on this site, where it comes from, and the command that reproduces it. Figures are dated because data sources and package versions move; a rerun on a later date can legitimately differ, and the source files say how. Test counts are not listed here: they change with every commit, so the site reads them from each repository's CI instead.

How RL agents fool you (RL-Trader)#

Claim Figure Source Reproduce
A single favourable run was not an edge crypto agent +56.8% [+16.3%, +106.3%] across 10 seeds vs buy-and-hold +33.5%, permutation p = 0.79 RESULTS.md §5 python tools/real_significance.py --seeds 10 --timesteps 150000
The stock agent is reliably worse than holding −19.1% [−26.7%, −11.2%] vs +239.5%, p = 0.0021 RESULTS.md §5 same command
Memorisation, and the fix held-out return single-asset → across tickers: stocks −25% → +31%, crypto −44% → +187% (10 seeds, all four intervals exclude zero) RESULTS.md §1 python tools/ablation_multiseed.py --seeds 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 --timesteps 60000
Pre-registered replication predictions committed (commit d344b4e) before running seeds 200–209; all four held (stock p = 0.0021, crypto p = 0.88). Not replicated: the crypto mean's interval now includes zero, +26.7% [−13.8%, +70.4%] docs/preregistration/ command in the registration file; input data archived by SHA-256

QuantumSafe Scan#

Claim Figure Source Reproduce
Precision on the project's labeled corpus 100% precision and recall on 26 labeled findings (18 files, 9 languages); naive line-regex 49.1% benchmark/RESULTS.md python benchmark/evaluate.py
Recall under mutation 50/50 seeded cases found, 0 false positives on 50 negative mutations benchmark/RESULTS-seeded.md python benchmark/seeded.py
Precision on real code nobody chose 93% (95% CI 86–97%) on 100 random findings from 37 PyPI packages, each hand-labeled with a reason; measured before the TLS rule fix it exposed benchmark/RESULTS-precision.md python benchmark/precision_sample.py --score
Scale 5,609 findings (4,236 HIGH) across 11,275 files in 37 packages, 2026-10-28, scanner 0.3.1 benchmark/RESULTS-realworld.md python benchmark/realworld.py
Versus general security tools quantum-relevant findings caught on the labeled corpus: QuantumSafe 26/26, Semgrep (p/r2c-security-audit) 4/26, Bandit 2/26 benchmark/COMPARISON.md python benchmark/comparison.py

AlphaGlyph#

Claim Figure Source Reproduce
The best backtest in a search is probably overfit probability of backtest overfitting 72% over a 42-variant grid on SPY (CSCV); median out-of-sample Sharpe 0.65, ~52% of in-sample technical report §7 python tools/pbo_snapshot.py (pinned SPY snapshot, SHA-256 recorded)
The ML forecaster cannot predict direction test AUC ≈ 0.51 technical report §7 model metadata, ml_model_meta.json
One conditional positive, and how fragile it is Dip Buyer on AAPL/MSFT, 2021-01-01 → 2024-01-01: +21.6% vs SPY +5.6% in ranging markets; one more year shrinks the edge to +3.6 points README, technical report §7 backtester with those dates; regime_conditional in the result

AlphaZero-style chess engine#

Claim Figure Source Reproduce
The plateau was a training-signal problem, not compute Elo vs a random player: baseline −21, 10× self-play −7, material signal +28 docs/experiment-results.md python run_experiment.py --device cuda (9.8 h on 2× T4)
Strength of the classical control engine Easy (depth 2) ≈ 1390 [1284, 1512] on Stockfish's engine scale: +14 =8 −8 vs Stockfish 19 at UCI_Elo 1320 docs/data/stockfish_rating_d2_e1320.json python tools/stockfish_rating.py --stockfish <path> --depth 2 --games 30

Tradeski and Neural Canvas#

These two make engineering claims rather than research ones: Tradeski's indicators are hand-coded on NumPy and covered by its CI (Python and JavaScript suites); Neural Canvas runs MediaPipe's 21-landmark hand model on-device at roughly 60 frames a second. Both are live and can be checked directly.

Accessibility#

All seven sites report zero violations under axe-core 4.10 with the WCAG 2.1 A/AA and best-practice rule sets (main pages and views, 2026-10-28).
