Audit Motion 002

Title

Will at least one frontier AI company publish recurring organizational governance metrics alongside capability benchmarks, in a single document, on or before 31 December 2026?

Research Thesis

This prediction tests whether frontier AI governance will evolve from policy disclosure toward performance disclosure.

Frontier AI companies now routinely publish governance frameworks, responsible scaling policies, and regulatory compliance documents. This motion asks whether governance itself will become measurable through publicly reported operational performance indicators — rather than remaining a collection of qualitative principles, or being conflated with model-level safety evaluations.

The single-document requirement is a theoretical design choice, not a technical formality: the market tests not merely whether governance metrics appear somewhere, but whether governance performance begins to enter the same public accountability surface as capability evaluation — whether a company is willing to let its governance record be read in the same sitting, by the same audience, as its capability claims.

The underlying hypothesis: governance maturity eventually requires operational metrics in the same way engineering maturity requires benchmarks.

Hypothesized progression:

Governance Principles → Governance Frameworks → Governance Processes → Governance Metrics

This market tests whether the final step begins within the resolution window.

Definitions

Frontier AI company means any of the following named organizations: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, xAI, Microsoft AI, Amazon (AGI/Titan), Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Alibaba (Qwen); or any other organization that qualifies as a “large frontier developer” under California SB 53 / TFAIA thresholds (≥10²⁶ FLOPs training compute and applicable revenue threshold) at the time of publication.

Capability benchmark information means at least one quantitative capability metric — a score, rate, ranking, or equivalent numerical result on a model capability evaluation (e.g., MMLU score, SWE-bench pass rate, internal capability evaluation results reported numerically). Mere mention of benchmark names, qualitative capability descriptions, or hyperlinks to capability results published elsewhere do not satisfy this element.

Organizational governance metric means a quantitative indicator measuring the performance of the company’s frontier-risk governance processes — not the behavior of its models, and not platform content-moderation operations. Examples (non-exhaustive):

• safety review completion rate or throughput

• frontier-safety incident count and incident response time statistics

• internal escalation / override frequency in capability-deployment decisions

• RSP / preparedness-framework execution statistics (evaluations conducted, thresholds triggered, mitigations applied)

• governance or safety audit frequency and findings statistics

• policy exception counts within the safety governance process

• time-to-remediation for identified compliance gaps

• external audit statistics

• governance SLA attainment or equivalent operational indicators

Single document (publication unit) means one self-contained document: a single PDF, a single report, or a single continuous webpage. A website, hub, or portal comprising multiple pages or downloadable documents is not a single document; the co-existence of governance metrics on one page and capability results on another page of the same site does not satisfy the criteria. Both required elements must appear within the same self-contained document.

Recurring — two qualifying types, and the Resolution Memorandum must identify which applies:

• Established Recurrence: the qualifying document is at least the second installment in a series of such disclosures published on or before the deadline.

• Committed Recurrence: the qualifying document is the first installment, but the document itself or its official announcement explicitly commits to a fixed publication cadence (e.g., quarterly, semi-annual, annual).

Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if, on or before 31 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC, at least one frontier AI company (as defined above) publicly releases a single document that reports both:

1. capability benchmark information (as defined above); and

2. one or more recurring organizational governance metrics (as defined above).

Explicit Exclusions — This Does NOT Count

The following alone do not satisfy the criteria:

• Model-level safety evaluations of any kind — refusal rates, jailbreak resistance scores, harmful-output rates, red-team pass rates, alignment benchmark scores, or any quantitative measurement of model output behavior. These measure the model, not the governance process, and are already standard system-card content.

• Platform trust-and-safety /...
