# ADVERSARIAL AUDIT (V4, B1-B6) — AI Creative Rights Contradiction Index (2026) > Run 2026-07-10 against the **actual fired cells** in `RESULT.json` (computed by `score.py` on the frozen `data-snapshot/`), BEFORE any public object is authored and BEFORE mint. A guessed critique fails this audit as badly as a guessed result, so every point below is checked against the real receipts. ## The computed result (for reference) - **Headline path-level density: 57/69 = 83%** of good-faith creator paths carry >=1 contradiction (classes 1,2,3). - Per-class (paths): Class 1 (own-vs-copyright) 39%, Class 2 (indemnity gap) 89%, Class 3 (own-vs-monetize, strict) 5% (3 paths). - Tool-level: Class 1 6/16, Class 2 13/14, Class 4 (free-tier trap) 11/13; tool-level density 14/16. - Per-modality path density: music 100%, image 80%, video 80%. - **The only two unflagged tools: Adobe Firefly and Google Veo 3.1.** --- ## B1 - OVER-GENERATION (is every counted contradiction a REAL good-faith-creator exposure?) - **Class 2 (indemnity, 13 tools): CONFIRMED real.** Concrete scenario: a creator on a paid plan generates and sells an image; a third party claims it infringes; the vendor's terms disclaim warranties and will not defend or reimburse. The creator carries the legal cost alone despite doing everything the tool asked. This is a genuine financial/legal exposure, not a technicality. Fired tools verified: Midjourney, Suno, Udio, Sora 2, Runway, Kling, ElevenLabs, Flux, Ideogram, Murf, Fish Audio, Stable Audio, Pika. - **Class 1 (own-vs-copyright, 6 tools): CONFIRMED real.** Scenario: the tool's terms say you own the output (Runway, Sora 2, ElevenLabs, Flux, DALL-E, Stable Audio), but under Thaler the output is not copyrightable, so a competitor can copy and resell your exact "owned" asset and you have no infringement claim. Owning a thing you cannot protect is a real, counterintuitive exposure. - **Class 4 (free-tier trap, 11 tools): CONFIRMED real but RECLASSIFIED in reporting.** It is a genuine exposure (a creator sees "commercial use," sells free-tier output, and is out of compliance), but it is a *marketing-vs-tier* trap, not an inter-layer *contradiction* like classes 1-3. **Audit action:** report Class 4 as a distinct "free-tier trap" category, and keep the headline path-density on classes 1-3 only (it already is; Class 4 is tool-only and excluded from the 83%). No over-generation in the headline. - **Class 3 (own-vs-monetize, 3 paths): CONFIRMED real and correctly narrow.** The 3 fired paths are Suno / Udio / Stable Audio to YouTube Music, whose `monetizable` is "conditional" (not a clean yes). Real: a musician may sell per the tool but faces conditional monetization on that platform. The strict predicate correctly did NOT count mandatory-disclosure platforms as contradictions (see B6). ## B2 - BIASED SAMPLE (is the seed set fair, or cherry-picked to inflate?) - **PASS.** The sample is every tool (16) and every platform (9) in the maintained `rinzara-data/` layer, enumerated in the deposited snapshot, selected by the rule "everything in the layer," not by contradiction count. **Falsification-of-rigging evidence:** if the sample were rigged to inflate, no tool would come out clean; two do (Firefly, Veo). The index is 83%, not 100%, precisely because the honest data includes the exceptions. ## B4 - OVER-READ SUMMARY STAT (does the single composite mislead?) - **PASS with a mandatory framing.** The 83% is driven overwhelmingly by **one class (indemnity, 89%)**. The object MUST lead with the per-class breakdown and state plainly: "the composite is high mainly because near-universally these tools do not indemnify you; the copyright-void class is ~39%; the platform-monetize class is only 5%." The interesting variance is (a) the tool-vs-platform split and (b) which tools escape (Firefly). The composite is never presented as a surprise on its own. ## B5 - METRIC FLOOR (does the scoring impose an artificial contradiction floor?) - **PASS.** No floor: each class is a pure field predicate, each reported raw, and AMBIGUOUS values are excluded (not coerced to "contradiction"). Adobe Firefly scoring 0 fired classes demonstrates the metric can return clean; a floored metric could not produce a clean tool. Ambiguous exclusions are disclosed (class2: Veo, DALL-E; class4: Firefly, Veo, Flux). ## B6 - UNREALISTIC CONSTRUCT (is each contradiction a real exposure a creator would hit?) - **PASS, and this is where the strict Class-3 correction earns its keep.** The exploratory friction variant (counting mandatory disclosure + medium strike risk) would report **91%** for Class 3, but that would be over-generation: disclosing AI use is a compliance *step* the tool's grant does not conflict with, not a contradiction. The strict pre-registered predicate counts only genuine monetization-endangerment (`monetizable != "yes"`), yielding **5%**. Reporting the strict 5% as the headline Class 3, with the 91% shown only as a labelled sensitivity, is the honest construct. The gap between 5% and 91% is itself a finding: **platform friction is high, platform contradiction is low.** --- ## AUDIT VERDICT **The index survives the audit.** The honest headline is: *"83% of good-faith creator paths across the 2026 creative-AI stack carry at least one unresolved rights contradiction, but the exposure is almost entirely tool-intrinsic (the near-universal indemnity gap and the post-Thaler copyright void), not platform-driven: platforms have largely converged on permissive disclose-and-monetize rules, and only the one tool that indemnifies (Adobe Firefly) escapes clean."* **H1 (dense >=50%): SUPPORTED (83%). H2 (tool gaps > platform gaps): SUPPORTED decisively (class 2 89% vs class 3 5%).** **Required framing carried into the object (from B1/B4/B6):** lead with per-class; report Class 4 as a distinct "trap"; report Class 3 strict (5%) as headline with the 91% friction as labelled sensitivity; name Firefly as the clean exception; every cell sourced + dated (2026-06-08); educational, not legal advice. **Gate status:** V1-V6 + floor all satisfied on the plan and now on the computed result. **HOLD at mint** pending operator review of this result (the DOI standard: permanent objects are not minted unilaterally).
