evaluate_argument

Input
{
  "verdict": "likely",
  "decisive": false,
  "evaluation": "Suppose AuditBench and similar testbeds are representative of agent-based auditing. Then the best black-box affordances leading every white-box tool on every target configuration makes the claim much more likely. The lead belongs to the scaffolded variants: unscaffolded black-box tools score about the same as white-box tools on average. The inference also rests on whether one weak investigator (Claude Haiku 4.5) and artificially implanted behaviours stand in for auditing in general. That premise is untested, and the paper's own tool-to-agent gap analysis puts it in doubt.",

evaluate_argument

Input
{
  "verdict": "slight",
  "decisive": false,
  "evaluation": "Even if the premises hold, the argument shows only that white-box tools beat basic chat access in one testbed. That testbed had no scaffolded black-box condition, and its interpretability advantage partly came from a sparse autoencoder trained on data containing the planted documents. It shows that the ordering depends on the setting. It does not show that white-box tools beat the strongest black-box tools.",
