EVIDENCE_CONTRACT.md

Evidence Contract

This project is intentionally audit-first. Every visible claim should point to a local artifact that a reader can inspect before trusting the dashboard.

Claim	Current evidence	Status	Boundary
A first-pass reviewer has a compact current-state scorecard.	REVIEWER_SCORECARD.md, docs/data/reviewer_scorecard.json	Verified guide	Summarizes existing evidence and boundaries; it does not add new experimental claims
The public dataset description is aligned with the official gated Xperience-10M dataset card and public sample card.	XPERIENCE10M_DATASET_CARD_ALIGNMENT.md, docs/data/xperience10m_dataset_card_alignment.json	Verified description alignment	Summarizes upstream public metadata, API listing facts, sample license/tooling, and card facts; does not grant access or mirror raw data
Source facts and boundary markers are validated across repo, website, and HF cards.	SOURCE_ALIGNMENT_AUDIT.md, docs/data/source_alignment_audit.json, scripts/validate_source_alignment.py	Verified source audit	Offline committed-fact audit; does not fetch private gated data
Public figures are indexed as reviewer evidence.	FIGURE_INDEX.md, docs/data/figure_index.json, scripts/build_figure_index.py	Verified visual evidence	Derived figures and thumbnails only; does not include raw MP4/HDF5/RRD data
The project logo is consistently packaged across public surfaces.	docs/data/brand_assets.json, docs/assets/brand/, scripts/build_brand_assets.py	Verified brand packaging	Generated presentation assets only; does not contain raw Xperience-10M data or model weights
The public Xperience-10M sample has been converted into aligned model windows.	results/episode_task_suite/windows.csv, results/episode_task_suite/shared_windows.npz, results/episode_task_suite/summary_report.json	Verified for 5,821 frames and 1,161 windows	One public sample episode only
The current feature contract is explicit and reviewable.	results/episode_task_suite/feature_manifest.json, results/episode_task_suite/available_modalities.json	Verified for an 8,378-d feature vector	Audio is present in MP4 streams but not yet a feature block
The task evaluation protocol is explicit and generated from committed metrics.	EVALUATION_PROTOCOL.md, docs/data/evaluation_protocol.json, scripts/build_evaluation_protocol.py	Verified protocol	Defines windows, split, per-task metrics, leakage controls, and unsupported interpretations; does not prove cross-episode quality
The public sample modalities are inspectable without raw data redistribution.	docs/data/modality_atlas.json, docs/assets/modalities/, website modality atlas	Verified derived thumbnail atlas	Thumbnails are presentation/review assets, not a replacement for official raw data access
The 12 task heads are real scripts and artifacts, not presentation placeholders.	scripts/episode_task_suite.py, results/episode_task_suite/*/metrics.json, results/episode_task_suite/*/predictions.*	Verified for all 12 task definitions	Chronological single-episode split, not cross-episode generalization
Minimal and neural heads use the same task contracts.	scripts/neural_task_models.py, results/episode_task_suite/neural_mlp/, docs/assets/task_architectures.png	Verified for 12 minimal heads and 12 neural MLP heads	Small heads only; not a foundation model
Four Ropedia research directions are mapped honestly as direct, proxy, or diagnostic evidence.	results/episode_task_suite/research_directions/research_direction_taxonomy.json, docs/data/research_directions.json	Verified taxonomy	Some directions remain proxy-only
Four extra direction probes are coded and evaluated.	results/episode_task_suite/research_direction_extensions/research_direction_extension_results.json, docs/data/research_direction_extensions.json	Verified single-episode probes	Not full human modeling, neural rendering, intent modeling, or world modeling solutions
Qwen3-Omni infrastructure has passed readiness checks.	results/omni_finetune/RUN_REPORT.md, results/omni_finetune/dataset_manifest.json, results/omni_finetune/metrics_eval.json	Readiness-only evidence	One episode, 128 train windows; not a 32-episode pilot
The real 32-episode LoRA pilot is blocked on gated data access, not on repo presentation.	results/omni_finetune/DATA_BLOCKER_REPORT.md, results/omni_finetune/MULTI_EPISODE_ACCESS_STATUS.md, results/omni_finetune/source_discovery.json	Blocker documented	No 32-episode metric should be claimed until the gate passes
Historical 32ep path strings are not treated as 32-episode results.	scripts/validate_scope_claims.py, docs/data/scope_claims_audit.json	Verified pass	Classifies old run/path identifiers and fails if public presentation claims real 32-episode metrics
Prepared GitHub/Hugging Face mirrors carry matching critical files.	scripts/validate_mirror_parity.py, docs/data/mirror_parity.json	Verified pass	Compares prepared data files, visual assets, website HTML, and validator scripts before upload; live URLs are checked after publishing
The public GitHub and Hugging Face bundles are publication-clean.	scripts/validate_publication_package.py, docs/data/publication_audit.json	Verified pass	Checks public files, HF bundles, and public-card freshness; ignored local scratch outputs are excluded
The public website has checked local references.	scripts/validate_website_integrity.py, docs/data/website_integrity.json	Verified pass	Checks local links, anchors, JSON data, and referenced images; external URLs are not fetched
The release gate is explicit and reviewable.	QUALITY_GATES.md, scripts/build_quality_gates.py, docs/data/quality_gates.json	Verified pass	Summarizes packaging and live-mirror checks; it does not prove cross-episode model quality
The live public mirrors are checked after upload.	scripts/verify_live_publication.py, docs/data/live_publication_status.json	Verified pass	Fetches public GitHub/HF URLs; it does not validate private training state
The core proof artifacts are indexed and grouped for fast review.	ARTIFACT_GUIDE.md, scripts/build_artifact_index.py, docs/data/artifact_index.json	Verified guide and index	Selective source-of-truth catalog, not a complete inventory of every output file
The public reproduction path is documented.	REPRODUCIBILITY.md, docs/data/reproducibility_matrix.json, notes/reproducibility_audit.md	Verified documentation and prior exact-match audit	Publicly reproduces the single-episode pipeline, not the gated 32-episode Qwen3-Omni pilot
The project is externally citable and machine-readable.	CITATION.cff, codemeta.json, docs/data/project_manifest.json, LICENSE	Verified metadata files	Code license does not override original Xperience-10M dataset terms
A first-time reviewer has an explicit audit path.	docs/data/reviewer_packet.json, website reviewer section, README reviewer path	Verified reviewer packet	It guides inspection; it does not add new experimental claims

Review Order

1. Read REVIEWER_SCORECARD.md and docs/data/reviewer_scorecard.json for the fastest current-state decision table.
2. Read docs/data/reviewer_packet.json for the shortest audit path and proof boundary.
3. Read XPERIENCE10M_DATASET_CARD_ALIGNMENT.md and docs/data/xperience10m_dataset_card_alignment.json to check the official dataset-card wording and how the current repo is scoped against it.
4. Read SOURCE_ALIGNMENT_AUDIT.md and docs/data/source_alignment_audit.json to verify the same source facts are present across repo, website, and HF cards.
5. Read FIGURE_INDEX.md, docs/data/figure_index.json, and docs/data/brand_assets.json to verify public figures, charts, modality thumbnails, logo assets, dimensions, hashes, and source scripts.

7. Read ARTIFACT_GUIDE.md and docs/data/artifact_index.json to see grouped reviewer artifacts, indexed proof artifacts, sizes, and stable-file hashes.
8. Read docs/assets/task_suite_infographic.png and docs/data/modality_atlas.json for the high-level map and modality atlas.
9. Read REPRODUCIBILITY.md and docs/data/reproducibility_matrix.json before rerunning the public pipeline.
10. Inspect results/episode_task_suite/summary_report.json for the task and metric source of truth.
