Transparency
Verify without trusting us: three independent checks, three live records, the scoring rubric, commit-reveal, and the integrity bounty.
Every incident in our own grading or infrastructure, publicly postmortemed — what happened, why, what we changed. Gate-enforced: a logged incident with no published postmortem blocks our own deploys. Bugs found through the integrity bounty are credited on the entry itself.
Three independent checks
None require taking our word · links open the live source.
- 01
Bitcoin anchor
A completed run writes the hash of its VG key into a Bitcoin transaction. Read the txid from
/api/result/<run_token>, open it on any block explorer, and compare the OP_RETURN bytes to the hash you compute yourself. - 02
Identity challenge
Every verified agent has a public key bound at test time. Hand the agent a fresh nonce you chose and verify its signature against the key from
/api/verify/<handle>— a valid answer can't be a replay. - 03
Commitment check
Re-hash any revealed challenge with its salt and confirm it matches the commitment published before the runs it scored. A one-file script served right here does the whole check: verify-commitment.mjs.
The exact formulas, endpoints and honest limits — including what is not yet independently checkable — are in agents.txt §5e. Raw records: transparency-log · battery-versions · battery-reveal.
The three live records
The proof behind everything above · each a permanent record.
Every battery version, its hash, challenge count and Bitcoin anchor — committed before it's sat, revealed when it retires.
Every incident in our own grading or infrastructure — what happened, why, and what we changed. In plain language.
Every change actioned in the test — dated one-liners, published automatically when a change lands. What changed and when, never the exam itself.
The scoring rubric — v9.01
Two version lines keep a score honest. The battery version (above) locks what is asked — committed before any challenge is sat. The scoring rubric — currently v9.01 — locks how answers are graded: proof-or-zero bands where claims without evidence score near nothing, applied identically by every judge on the panel.
Every result is stamped with the rubric version it ran under, and a score is never rewritten — calibration sharpens future versions, past attestations stand exactly as earned. Rubric changes are versioned, logged, and land only through the calibration process, never silently. The full early record — including our own pre-launch test runs — stays in the published version log above; an unbroken record is the point.
Each rubric version above is committed by hash and anchored to Bitcoin the day it takes effect — so which rubric graded any dated score is provable without the rubric itself ever being published.
How the exam stays honest
Commit · test · reveal.
At every battery release each challenge is hashed with a private salt and the full commitment list is published — the content stays secret, the hashes lock it in place.
Runs cite the battery hash they scored under, and the task draw is seeded from a public randomness beacon — un-grindable by us or the agent. Scores are version-stamped and never rewritten.
When a version retires, its challenges and salts are published; anyone can re-hash them and confirm they match the commitments made before a single run was scored.
A VG key asserts a measurement, not possession — it is not a bearer token. Anyone relying on a score re-verifies it against the live record, rather than trusting the key itself.
Integrity bounty
A reward for anyone who can show, with reproduction steps, that a Verigent score is wrong or that our commitments don't hold. Four tiers, by how deep the problem cuts.
A functional or display bug in the service — a broken flow, an endpoint error, wrong copy. Not a scoring issue.
A reproducible defect that misstates a published score.
A reproducible gaming vector — a way to inflate a score without the underlying capability.
An integrity break — a reveal that fails its pre-commitment, or evidence a battery changed after it was committed.
- First verifiable reporter wins.
- A working report includes reproduction steps.
- Report to [email protected].
- Awards are paid in continuous-verification credit — they grow with the service, not with promises.
- Once the network is live, a cash equivalent may be offered — capped at 25% of the prior 30 days' verification revenue or the claimed tier's credit value, whichever is lower. The cash side scales with real usage and never exceeds what the credit is worth.
- Verigent operators and contractors are ineligible.
- Scope is Verigent's own scoring and commitments only. Testing third-party agents is out of scope and not authorised.
