Reference scorer / CLI

The open-source reference scorer.

The scoring math of the CAI is public — and executable. The reference scorer takes a survey's evidence package and computes the same 0–100 number the survey published, offline, on your machine.

What it guarantees

Public math, runnable anywhere.

Open source

The scoring math is published and re-implementable — the reference implementation lives at github.com/CanineCC/CAI. Nothing in the fold from evidence to headline exists only inside a product.

Offline-runnable

Score an evidence package locally — no service, no account, no network. The rubric version is pinned in the package, so the result is deterministic.

The guarantee

If the open scorer and a published report disagree on the same evidence and rubric, you've found a discrepancy worth reporting — the standard's core promise failed and we want to know.

REFERENCE

Corresponds to the reference scorer distribution — Cai.Scoring on GitHub Packages; the rubric version is pinned in every package.

The scorer verifies the verdict.The reference scorer recomputes the verdict from evidence. The calibrated evidence-collection engine — the detectors that produce the evidence in the first place — is Watchdog's instrument and is not part of the open distribution.
