3 judges. Scored by all three judges. Only the day’s top stories get the claim check. How far stories are checked

An internal pilot of an open-source AI workspace, run on synthetic data, found that suspending a test user blocked new requests but did not stop an agent run already in progress: in 2 of 14 cases that run still wrote a file afterward.

Read the original at scopehaven.dev. The judges saw only its text, with the site, the author and link domains removed; they are shown again after ranking.

Why it ranked

No. 107 of 155 with a score of 0.58. The panel rated it highest on new information (0.91) and practical relevance (0.78), lowest on significance (0.49).

AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
Relevant agent-authorization finding with a small synthetic pilot (2 of 14 failures), partial local repair, and an unnamed project. Practical lesson for builders, but thin evidence and a product pitch inflate it somewhat.
AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
A bounded, reproducible pilot identifies a meaningful agent authorization failure and offers practical testing guidance. Evidence is narrow and partly promotional, but unusually candid about limits and avoids claiming broad vulnerability or certification.

Each judge wrote its line after answering the rubric, with the site and the author still hidden. Every answer behind this is in the table under Score.
