Assessment

Supported

Score: 0.9969 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

3 of 4 review checks done · 3 counted

4 independent evidence lineages · review checks 3 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:c09893d4-ad5a-8dd0-9096-7befe37a40b0

Not yet independently audited.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 excerpt directly says OpenAI does not intend to claim the one-million-dollar prize. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: Quartz reports OpenAI will not claim the $1 million Millennium Prize.

Review gaps: independence 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.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 5.760000 (the counted weights) = 5.760000 → probability 0.9969

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9826 to 0.9994, a spread of 0.0168.

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.

Direct primary confirmation from OpenAI's own announcement. One wording gap: OpenAI says "the Millennium Prize", not a dollar figure, so the claim's "$1 million" is a gloss added downstream rather than OpenAI's words.

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.
