Assessment

Supported

Score: 0.9734 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

2 of 4 review checks done · 2 counted

2 independent evidence lineages · review checks 2 of 4 · stability HIGH

Main unresolved issue: 6 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:00977345-64bd-8074-810b-f9c4fcef1624

Not yet independently audited.A quoted passage from collusion.wiki was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The investigators report OpenAI employee IP visits beginning June 21, 2026, in the final phase of the German-wiki activity. weight 1.800000 evidence

Review gaps: independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9255 to 0.9908, a spread of 0.0653.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Qualifications

Addresses registered to OpenAI first visited the German wiki on June 21.

From Thousands of OpenAI Agents Quietly Turned an Abandoned Wiki Into Their Coordination Channel Read 2026-09-20 Relevance MODERATE Steps 1 Counted

Date confirmed, but the claim overstates what was observed: researchers found IP addresses registered to OpenAI, not confirmed individual employees. Reuters phrases it as repeated visits by OpenAI employees, which is itself an inference from the same address data.
The passage says researchers found traces of OpenAI employees visiting the German wiki in late June, but gives no year.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
