What was found
A collection of case studies rather than a single result. Useful as a source of individual entries; each contained claim needs separate grading before it belongs in the registry on its own.
Novelty check
Not applicable. This is a meta-report, not a single claim.
Caveats and known objections
Lab-authored evaluation of its own model. Individual case studies vary widely in strength and several have not been independently checked.
Nobody outside the lab has checked this yet.
Reading the primary source closely enough to say whether it supports the claim counts as a check, and you are credited on the entry.
Or on GitHub: submit a check challenge the grade send a correction or send a pull request
Flag this for triage
Signals order the review queue and nothing else. They are never published, and they never move a grade: that takes a citation.

Entries are never deleted. A grade that does not hold up is downgraded on the record, with the reason beside it.
Graded peer reviewed for verification and ai-assisted for autonomy. What these mean.
