Framework

Each test and safeguard, by who documents it

For each item, how many of the 4 versions listed above whose documents we read in full have it from an outside party (an independent or government tester), from the provider, or as a claim we could not confirm.

No document we read states, for any of these versions: Serious-incident disclosure commitment; Pre-release external access; Tested: autonomy and replication; Tested: harmful content; Tested: injection and agentic risks; Tested: bias; Tested: privacy; Safety training (harmlessness and refusal); Agent permission limits and sandboxing; Human approval for high-risk actions; Misuse monitoring and enforcement; Reasoning (chain-of-thought) monitoring; Staged or restricted access; Output provenance and watermarking; Telemetry and audit logging; Domain-specific safeguards (CBRN or cyber); Vulnerability disclosure and bug-bounty programme; Third-party or government red-team access during development.

The text we hold of these frameworks names no capability levels.
