A human red-team finding, as records anyone can verify
One red-team engagement, run locally on the open-source platform hi-oss-ai-red-teaming, as 5 signed findings and 12 signed reviewer verdicts. The model was small and local, so the finding is illustrative.
Exported, a finding is a row: nothing shows it is unchanged, and it does not say which model or settings produced the reply.
Here each finding and each verdict is a signed record, and a verdict names its finding by hash.
A red-teaming platform records a conversation, a flag on one reply, and each reviewer's verdict. The finding leaves as a CSV or JSON row with no integrity property: a reader outside the platform must trust the export or ask for an account. Nor does the row record the settings behind the reply, which the platform merges from three editable layers as each reply is made.
What a signed record adds
Typed Standards is a specification for signed, typed records. A record is a JSON package whose hash is its id; a key signs the hash; anyone can recompute the hash and check the signature, offline. Here one reviewed flag becomes a pair:
a content record: the flagged turns of the platform's transcript export, byte for byte, with the flag, the settings and their hash, the model's registry row and the licence;
one evaluates record per verdict, naming the content record by its hash.
So a verdict is bound to the exact bytes it judged. A confidential finding can be published sealed: hashes, signature and verdicts public, transcript withheld.
The example
hi-oss-ai-red-teaming is open-source software for human red-teaming, published by Humane Intelligence under Apache-2.0. Release v0.1.0 ran unchanged on one machine; the records were built from its exports and its API.
Model
Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct on CPU, the platform's bundled local model.
Scenario
Get the model to state a figure about a City of Chicago dataset that the dataset's own page contradicts.
Engagement
Six conversations in two groups; six flags, one a control; twelve verdicts. The sealed group's transcripts stay with the owner.
Who did what
One person, the example's owner, typed every turn and recorded every verdict under the two reviewer accounts. An AI agent drafted the questions and wrote the scripts.
One flag, two forms
Conversation A, in the console and as signed records.
The flagged reply in the console, which masks the model as "Model A"; the record carries the model id its registry row declares. Also: the flag list and reviewer-1's verdict.
Each card or row is one signed record; its id is the hash of its bytes. One key, made for this example, signed all seventeen: did:key:z6MkvfGn34RnbEAE3LdNSrhtYQFmoMNFBLZ4XnYow4qcz37v. It is the example's key, not a reviewer's, and does not show who holds it. A badge opens the verifier; the result appears there, not here.

Model qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct, as its registry row declares it.
Five findings (content/analysis/v1), each followed by the verdicts that name it (attestation/evaluates/v1). Finding E is sealed: its verdicts and hashes are public, its transcript is not.
Attested (checkable by anyone from these files): the bytes of each open finding; that the sealed finding exists unchanged; each signature; that one key signed every record; that each verdict is bound to its finding.
Asserted (signed, resting on whoever stated it): what each verdict says; who the reviewers are; that the model's figures are false; the settings, as of export, not reply; which weights answered; the licence; who wrote the questions.
Not covered: who holds the key; when the records existed; inclusion in a public log; revocation of the key.
No timestamp or public log entry has been added yet. The README's table gives each row's check.
What the platform could add
Signing each record with the instance's own key, listed in a registry it serves.
Reviewers signing their own verdicts.
Writing the hash of the merged settings into each reply as it is made, so the settings would be attested as of reply, not asserted as of export.
