Epistemic Reliability Test for trustworthy AI evaluation.

ERT is an experimental research effort focused on epistemic reliability, reasoning stability, uncertainty integrity, replay accountability, and trustworthy AI evaluation.

Public-safe R&D
  • Reasoning stability
  • Uncertainty integrity
  • Replay accountability
  • Client-readable reporting

Start Here

This hub collects public-safe ERT / Project Aletheia research pages connected to Science Built Technologies. The writing is intentionally readable for non-academic visitors while preserving the seriousness of the R&D work.

Some implementation details are intentionally redacted to protect IP and prevent unsafe disclosure. Redaction markers are preserved visibly instead of being silently removed.

Ongoing Work

The project is still expanding. Current directions include diagnostic signals, interface refinement, client-friendly reports, signed and replayable report concepts, ERT-Lite demonstrations, calibration workflows, comparison workflows, and longitudinal reliability testing.

Research Progression

Read the public sequence

These pages follow the public research arc from the minimal ERT definition through current implementation and continuing work.

01 ERT Minimal Public Definition

The Epistemic Reliability Test, or ERT, is an experimental evaluation framework for studying whether an AI system's reasoning holds together when the same underlying question is asked in dif...

02 ERC Tier System

Epistemic Reliability Certification, or ERC, is a proposed tier system for communicating how reliably an AI system reasons under variation. The purpose is not to claim that a system is perfe...

03 Engineering Hardening: Cause and Effect

This progress log records an early engineering hardening phase for ERT. The work moved ERT from a minimal evaluation concept toward a more coherent reliability platform with stronger report ...

04 Project Aletheia Public Progress Summary

Project Aletheia is an experimental research effort focused on improving how AI systems reason under uncertainty, challenge, and changing context. The central concern is not only whether an ...

05 Pass 2 Relational Survivability Scaffold

This stage explored how to test whether a reasoning system can preserve relationships between ideas when the context changes. Earlier work had described a second reasoning pathway focused on...

06 From Dual Pass to Epistemic Governance

This stage marks a major transition in Project Aletheia. The project was no longer only about creating a dual-pass reasoning method. It began becoming a broader epistemic governance architec...

07 Transformation Integrity and Multidimensional Reliability

Project Aletheia explores how AI reasoning can remain reliable when a question is challenged, reworded, scaled to a broader context, or viewed from a different perspective. This stage of the...

08 ERT Reasoning Stability Framework

The Epistemic Reliability Test, or ERT, is an experimental evaluation framework for studying whether AI reasoning remains stable, consistent, and uncertainty-aware under controlled variation...

09 ERT Platform: Transparent Execution with Opaque Implementation

The ERT platform is being developed to make AI reliability evaluations inspectable without exposing private evaluator internals. The core public principle is:

10 Trace Viewer, Calibration, and Client Reporting

This stage of ERT development focused on making evaluation reports easier to generate, verify, inspect, and share without exposing private client information or protected implementation deta...

11 Survivability Governance Stabilization

This stage refined the purpose of ERT from a narrow testing tool into a broader reliability-governance framework. The focus shifted toward a central question:

12 Current Implementation and Continuing Work

This page summarizes the current public-safe implementation direction for ERT. The work has moved beyond basic concept notes into a functioning local evaluation and reporting workflow involv...
