The models make the work
Contestants receive frozen test conditions and produce the artifacts being evaluated. Their identities remain hidden during a blind Duel.
Human judgment
stays human.
Proofrun is an independent Finland-based editorial project built to make AI testing more inspectable: show the artifact, preserve the conditions, disclose the assistance, and keep the conclusion smaller than the evidence.
Who does what01 02 03 04
The human editor judges it
The editor inspects the artifacts, decides requirement outcomes, confirms craft scores, records confidence and rationale, and locks the verdict before reveal.
AI assists the investigation
AI systems help build Proofrun and may analyze preserved evidence or draft editorial copy. Assistance is recorded on the affected report; findings and prose require human acceptance.
The record constrains everyone
Prompts, settings, attempts, failures, evidence, costs, evaluation state, identities, and limitations cross a guarded publication boundary and remain attached to the claim.
Editorial independence
No paid winner. No invisible exception.
Proofrun does not sell placement in verdicts. Any sponsorship, supplied credits, employment, investment, or other material relationship relevant to a test must be disclosed beside that result. A relationship cannot rewrite a locked evaluation after identities are revealed.
Model providers do not receive advance approval over conclusions. Access method, resolved provider, reported generation cost, retries, and protocol exceptions are preserved when the publication format supports them.
Trust comes from visible boundaries, not a claim of perfect neutrality.
Corrections and privacy
Correct openly. Collect little.
Historical evidence is not silently rewritten. Material corrections should appear as explicit amendments, while the original hashed record remains attributable. A failed run may be published, but a rerun is a new record rather than a replacement.
The journal currently has no reader accounts, comments, or newsletter form. Interactive web artifacts run on a separate isolated service and are linked through hash-bound receipts; the public journal does not execute contestant HTML.

The compact promise
Show enough to disagree well.
Proofrun is not a laboratory claim of universal model quality. It is a growing journal of bounded, reproducible editorial observations. The aim is to let a reader see the work, understand the procedure, notice the uncertainty, and reach a different judgment without having to trust a hidden process.
