32 / Public failure-case series

A useful verifier must show how it fails.

These first-party known-answer cases test specific AI-agent and API-service claims. The inputs, expected outcomes and limitations are public so an independent developer can reproduce or challenge them.

Evidence boundary:These are first-party deterministic test fixtures—not allegations about a named service, independent monitoring, a security audit or proof of commercial adoption.

01 / Cases

Challenge one claim at a time.

Case 01Known answer

Latency promise breached

Claim: The agent completed within the agreed 500 ms limit.

Evidence: Measured latency is 781 ms while uptime and freshness remain within their thresholds.

Expected: FAIL — one explicit service promise is breached.

Limitation: The engine evaluates the submitted measurement; it does not independently observe the network request.

Case 02Known answer

Output integrity mismatch

Claim: The returned output matches the committed expected result.

Evidence: Availability checks pass, but the observed SHA-256 digest differs from the expected digest.

Expected: FAIL — availability does not rescue an integrity mismatch.

Limitation: A matching digest would prove consistency with the committed bytes, not that the underlying claim is true.

Case 03Known answer

Stale evidence presented as current

Claim: The agent result is recent enough for the decision.

Evidence: The supplied freshness age exceeds the agreement's maximum age.

Expected: FAIL — a correct but stale result cannot satisfy the current-evidence rule.

Limitation: Clock source, collection method and caller honesty remain external trust assumptions.

02 / Reproduce

Run the published dataset and preserve the complete output.

    Run the public method

    Use the documented engine or API against the unchanged inputs and record the runtime, command and timestamp.

    Publish success or failure

    Preserve the complete output and limitations. A negative result is accepted when it is reproducible.
