Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:234ec42c-36d1-8331-a8f8-55dd2785f850
Not yet independently audited.
Why?
Strongest counted support: OpenAI said no specific user data was accessed for solving, but could not rule out de-identified product data helping improve models. 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.
