The reading

  1. chi predicts realized best-of-n feature-drift ordering on a real bank

    chi_bon_spearman > 0.3 0.6 Susceptibility chi predicts best-of-n feature drift on a real bank confirmed registered confidence interval 0.7500000000000002 to 1 > 0.3 The frozen study "Susceptibility chi predicts best-of-n feature drift on a real bank", adjudicated on 19 July 2026 at the registered level of the project's evidence ladder. One frozen study, adjudicated once, on skywork-v2-qwen3-8b and skywork-v2-llama31-8b, over ultrafeedback-bank. It does not establish that the same holds on another subject, another dataset or another run. split-bank estimator: chi and drift read disjoint prompt halves, so the null re-centers at zero, but the correlation's exchangeable unit is k = 6 features and the null still passes the frozen 0.3 threshold 0.28 of the time; the registered CI exclusion carries size control and only orderings near the synthetic calibration (0.958) clear the 0.91 MDE.

chi_bon_spearman_second_model
Susceptibility chi predicts best-of-n feature drift on a real bank confirmed registered none registered The frozen study "Susceptibility chi predicts best-of-n feature drift on a real bank", adjudicated on 19 July 2026 at the registered level of the project's evidence ladder. One frozen study, adjudicated once, on skywork-v2-qwen3-8b and skywork-v2-llama31-8b, over ultrafeedback-bank. It does not establish that the same holds on another subject, another dataset or another run. Nothing was registered against this value in advance, so it is a supporting measurement rather than a tested one. split-bank estimator: chi and drift read disjoint prompt halves, so the null re-centers at zero, but the correlation's exchangeable unit is k = 6 features and the null still passes the frozen 0.3 threshold 0.28 of the time; the registered CI exclusion carries size control and only orderings near the synthetic calibration (0.958) clear the 0.91 MDE.
