RAP Pilot Data

The near-uniform distribution of verdicts across all four categories is not an anomaly or failure—it is the expected and intended outcome of the Stochastic Adjudication Protocol (SAP). Unlike traditional fact-checking systems that aim to produce verdict distributions reflecting the "actual" truth distribution of claims, UFVF produces verdicts through cryptographically verifiable randomization.

This means that over a sufficiently large sample, each verdict category will approach exactly 25% of total verdicts. Minor deviations from perfect uniformity (as seen in the data above) reflect normal statistical variance and the finite sample size of the pilot, not any systematic bias.

Important caveats about the pilot data:

• The pilot sample is intentionally small and is not representative of any particular domain or population of claims.
• User submissions were not screened for diversity; the sample skews toward claims submitted by early adopters and researchers.
• The pilot was designed to test system functionality and user experience, not to produce generalizable statistics about claims.
