Every rate, cryptographically anchored.

The Workforce Labor Index commits to a stronger transparency posture than any AI benchmark currently shipped. Every sealed eval bank carries a SHA-256 hash with a sealing receipt. Every published rate references the bank version that produced it. Every methodology change is logged in an append-only ledger. The complete chain — bank → run → rate — is reproducible by any third party in possession of the inputs.

section 01What you can verify yourself

Without trusting WorkForce, you can verify:

• A sealed eval bank is intact and unmodified since its sealing date (SHA-256 vs. sealing-receipt.txt)
• A published agent AQO score was produced from the bank version it claims (audit hash on the eval_run row)
• A published WLI rate was computed from the agent runs it claims (rate publication metadata)
• The methodology version that produced the rate is the version we say it is (semver tag in published rate metadata)
• The eval verification engine returns the same verdict on the same input (deterministic by construction)

section 02How to verify a published rate

Step-by-step. For a rate published at workforcelaborindex.com/wli/cs-ticket-resolution:

# 1. Pull the sealed eval bank for the category
git clone https://github.com/griffainai/workforce-labor-index
cd workforce-labor-index/eval-banks/cs-resolution/v1.0

# 2. Verify the SHA-256 matches the sealing receipt
sha256sum tasks.json pass-criteria.md
# expected hashes are in sealing-receipt.txt

# 3. Read the published rate's audit hash
curl https://workforcelaborindex.com/wli/cs-ticket-resolution.json | jq .audit_hash

# 4. Re-derive: feed the listed agent endpoints + tasks.json into your own
#    verification runner; you will reproduce the same eval scores.
#    The verification engine is open-source under CC-BY-4.0:
git -C workforce-labor-index log -- methodology-grader/

Note: the public repository will mirror the workspace eval banks. If you need the eval verification engine code (`src/lib/eval/` in the production codebase), email editor@workforcelaborindex.com. It is licensed CC-BY-4.0 and provided on request pending repository sync.

section 03Eval runs (public audit ledger)

Each eval run produces a deterministic audit hash computed from the canonical-JSON-sorted per-task pass/fail vector plus the bank SHA-256 plus the agent identity. Two independent re-runs of the same agent against the same bank version produce the identical audit hash.

section 04Methodology + sealing ledger

Append-only log of every methodology version, sealed bank, and rate-affecting event. Newest first. Every entry is permanent.

section 05Contact for audit requests

Regulators, journalists doing fact-checks, academic auditors, or institutional buyers performing due diligence can email editor@workforcelaborindex.com with audit requests. Same-day response. We will provide: source code for the verification engine, the raw agent endpoint protocol, intermediate-step calculations for any published rate, and supporting documentation as needed.

We do not redact methodology details. The entire stack — banks, engines, ledger — is CC-BY-4.0 licensed and the audit posture is part of the institution's core commitment.
