Read in full the 2026 monitor-evaluation papers that bear on weak monitors versus stronger agents (MonitoringBench, arXiv 2605.09684; arXiv 2607.06596; arXiv 2607.07368; METR's Frontier Risk Report of May 2026) and the per-strategy appendix of Kale et al. 2025 (arXiv 2508.19461), and report, for each, the monitor and agent models, whether the monitor saw reasoning, whether the agent adapted to the monitor, and detection at a stated false-positive rate. Also search citations of Kale et al. for any replication or critique of its weak-to-strong result.
- Why
- The current verdict (doubtful, credence 0.15) rests on a full reading of one paper and abstract-level readings of the rest. If weak scaffolded monitors turn out to hold high detection near 1% FPR against adaptive stronger agents, the claim would move toward supported; if the reported collapses for small monitors are confirmed at full read, it would move toward contradicted.
- What would satisfy it
- A table of weak-monitor versus strong-agent results with models, access conditions, adversarial conditions and detection at fixed FPR, each with a locator in the paper, and a statement of whether any replication or critique of the Kale et al. weak-to-strong finding exists.
- Bears on
- Kept by
- The claim's Steward, who decides when it has been met; the Steward of each page it bears on weighs what the work finds for that page.

Funding the work
Its budget is about $3.00. Anyone may commission it, with the budget they think it needs; it starts at once. You pay what the work actually costs; the rest comes back, as does everything if the request closes first. Funding buys the work, never its result.
