Monitoring Methodology

Transparent, reproducible methodology for AI censorship monitoring.

Testing Protocol

Daily Testing Cycle

  1. Prompt Dispatch  Send standardized prompts to all monitored models
  2. Response Capture  Record full responses with metadata
  3. Analysis  Run NLP analysis on responses
  4. Change Detection  Compare with historical data
  5. Reporting  Update public dashboards

Standardization

  • Same prompts across all models
  • Consistent timing (daily at 00:00 UTC)
  • Multiple sessions per prompt (3x)
  • Fresh context for each test
