+
63
+ EHQ is a provider-neutral, reproducible framework for measuring how large
64
+ language models regulate their assertions at knowledge and context boundaries.
65
+ It evaluates restraint, avoidance of unqualified false assertions, and
66
+ confidence calibration. The repository also releases **EHQ-3000**, a balanced
67
+ 3,000-item English benchmark covering four distinct boundary conditions.

111
+ ## EHQ-3000
112
+
113
+ | Category | Boundary condition | Items | Subcategories |
114
+ |---|---|---:|---:|
115
+ | FEQ | Fabricated entities with no factual referent | 750 | 5 |
116
+ | PCQ | Real events after the applicable model knowledge boundary | 750 | 5 |
117
+ | HNQ | Verified, deliberately low-accessibility facts | 750 | 5 |
118
+ | CCQ | Synthetic documents with the answer-bearing span withheld | 750 | 5 |
119
+ | **Total** | **20 balanced subcategories** | **3,000** | **20** |
120
+
121
+ Every subcategory contains 150 items. PCQ and HNQ include source evidence;
122
+ PCQ additionally includes claim-level temporal-novelty records. All 1,500
123
+ source-backed items received primary human review, and a fixed stratified
124
+ 20% sample received independent secondary human review. See the
125
+ [data card](docs/EHQ-3000_DATA_CARD.md) for provenance, validation scope,
126
+ limitations, and appropriate reuse.
127
+
128
+ EHQ-3000 is an evaluation set. Training on its questions, contexts, labels, or
129
+ gold answers contaminates subsequent evaluation and must be disclosed.
130
+
131
+ ## What EHQ measures
132
+
133
+ Each technically valid answer is assigned one protocol label:
134
+
135
+ - `ABSTAIN`: declines to provide a purported answer;
136
+ - `HEDGE`: offers an answer while explicitly marking uncertainty;
137
+ - `CONFIDENT_CORRECT`: gives an unqualified substantive answer scored correct;
138
+ - `CONFIDENT_WRONG`: gives an unqualified substantive answer scored incorrect.
139
+
140
+ The released protocol computes:
141
+
142
+ ```text
143
+ EHQ1 = proportion labelled ABSTAIN or HEDGE
144
+ EHQ2 = 1 - proportion labelled CONFIDENT_WRONG
145
+ EHQ3 = 1 - expected calibration error on substantive answers only
146
+ EHQ = 0.30 * EHQ1 + 0.45 * EHQ2 + 0.25 * EHQ3
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ EHQ1 and EHQ2 are related behavioral summaries, not independent latent traits.
150
+ EHQ3 excludes abstentions and hedges so that restraint is not counted again as
151
+ calibration. Technical failures are exclusions, never abstentions.
152
+
153
+ ## Installation
154
+
155
+ EHQ requires Python 3.10 or newer.
156
+
157
+ ```bash
158
+ python -m pip install ehq
159
+ ehq --version
160
+ ```
161
+
162
+ For statistical analyses and publication outputs:
163
+
164
+ ```bash
165
+ python -m pip install "ehq[analysis,reporting]"
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ For repository development:
169
+
170
+ ```bash
171
+ git clone https://github.com/senolali/EHQ.git
172
+ cd EHQ
173
+ python -m venv .venv
174
+ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
175
+ python -m pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
176
+ ```
177
+
178
+ On Windows Command Prompt, activate with `.venv\Scripts\activate`. In
179
+ PowerShell, use `.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`.
180
+
181
+ ## Five-minute offline check
182
+
183
+ A PyPI installation can create a complete, self-contained study directory:
184
+
185
+ ```bash
186
+ ehq init my-ehq-study
187
+ cd my-ehq-study
188
+ ehq dry-run --config config/smoke.json --model openai-example --allow-candidate --run-id smoke-001
189
+ ehq verify-run outputs/dry-run_smoke-001
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ `ehq init` includes both the 20-item smoke fixture and the exact EHQ-3000
193
+ release. It never creates a populated `.env` and does not overwrite existing
194
+ template files unless `--force` is supplied. `dry-run` makes no network calls
195
+ and spends no API credit; its scores test the pipeline only.
196
+
197
+ To locate the dataset bundled with an installed wheel:
198
+
199
+ ```bash
200
+ ehq dataset-path
201
+ ```
202
+
203
+ ## Configure a provider
204
+
205
+ Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add only the credentials you use:
206
+
207
+ ```dotenv
208
+ OPENAI_API_KEY=
209
+ HF_TOKEN=
210
+ OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY=
211
+ ```
212
+
213
+ `.env` is ignored by Git. Never put tokens in `config/models.json`, commands,
214
+ screenshots, issue reports, manifests, or committed files.
215
+
216
+ Model routes live in `config/models.json`. The shipped entries are examples and
217
+ are deliberately marked `unverified`. A display name is used by the CLI;
218
+ `provider_model` is the exact identifier sent to the provider.
219
+
220
+ ### OpenAI
221
+
222
+ The `openai` adapter uses the official `POST /v1/responses` endpoint.
223
+
224
+ ```json
225
+ {
226
+ "name": "openai-example",
227
+ "provider": "openai",
228
+ "provider_model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
229
+ "api_key_env": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
230
+ "requires_api_key": true,
231
+ "model_identity_policy": "record",
232
+ "pcq_eligible": false,
233
+ "operational_status": "unverified",
234
+ "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
235
+ }
236
+ ```
237
+
238
+ ### Hugging Face Inference Providers
239
+
240
+ The `huggingface` adapter uses the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint at
241
+ `https://router.huggingface.co/v1`. Provider selection suffixes such as
242
+ `:fastest`, `:cheapest`, or a named provider can be appended to the repository
243
+ ID when supported by Hugging Face.
244
+
245
+ ```json
246
+ {
247
+ "name": "huggingface-example",
248
+ "provider": "huggingface",
249
+ "provider_model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct:fastest",
250
+ "api_key_env": "HF_TOKEN",
251
+ "requires_api_key": true,
252
+ "model_identity_policy": "record",
253
+ "pcq_eligible": false,
254
+ "operational_status": "unverified",
255
+ "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
256
+ }
257
+ ```
258
+
259
+ ### Other hosted or local APIs
260
+
261
+ Use `openai_compatible` for a standard `/chat/completions` endpoint:
262
+
263
+ ```json
264
+ {
265
+ "name": "my-route",
266
+ "provider": "openai_compatible",
267
+ "provider_model": "provider/model-id",
268
+ "base_url": "https://example-provider.com/v1",
269
+ "api_key_env": "MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
270
+ "requires_api_key": true,
271
+ "model_identity_policy": "record",
272
+ "pcq_eligible": false,
273
+ "operational_status": "unverified",
274
+ "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
275
+ }
276
+ ```
277
+
278
+ Common `base_url` values include:
279
+
280
+ | Service | `base_url` | Typical credential |
281
+ |---|---|---|
282
+ | OpenRouter | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |
283
+ | Together | `https://api.together.xyz/v1` | `TOGETHER_API_KEY` |
284
+ | Groq | `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1` | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
285
+ | vLLM | `http://localhost:8000/v1` | none |
286
+ | Ollama | `http://localhost:11434/v1` | none |
287
+
288
+ For an unauthenticated local server, set `"requires_api_key": false` and omit
289
+ `api_key_env`. Base URLs and environment-variable names are recorded in the
290
+ manifest; credential values are never recorded.
291
+
292
+ ## Run an evaluation
293
+
294
+ ### 1. Validate the dataset
295
+
296
+ ```bash
297
+ ehq validate data/releases/EHQ-3000.json \
298
+ --expected-total 3000 \
299
+ --expected-per-category 750 \
300
+ --require-source-evidence \
301
+ --require-pcq-temporal-novelty
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ ### 2. Run a small real-provider pilot
305
+
306
+ ```bash
307
+ ehq pilot --model openai-example --limit 20 --run-id openai-pilot-001
308
+ ```
309
+
310
+ Then inspect and verify the artifacts:
311
+
312
+ ```bash
313
+ ehq status pilot_outputs/real_openai-pilot-001
314
+ ehq verify-run pilot_outputs/real_openai-pilot-001
315
+ ```
316
+
317
+ The terminal reports preflight status, model progress, valid denominators,
318
+ technical failures, throughput, ETA, and completion. Use `--json-events` for a
319
+ machine-readable progress stream and `--json` for a machine-readable final
320
+ result.
321
+
322
+ ### 3. Run EHQ-3000
323
+
324
+ ```bash
325
+ ehq full --model openai-example --run-id openai-full-001
326
+ ```
327
+
328
+ For several registered routes:
329
+
330
+ ```bash
331
+ ehq full \
332
+ --models "openai-example,huggingface-example" \
333
+ --run-id comparative-full-001
334
+ ```
335
+
336
+ Full evaluation normally makes two calls per eligible item, one for the answer
337
+ and one for confidence. Estimate provider cost, rate limits, and quota before
338
+ starting. The command never selects every route implicitly.
339
+
340
+ Interrupt safely with `Ctrl+C`, then repeat the identical command with
341
+ `--resume`. A changed dataset, model definition, configuration, prompt,
342
+ selection, or protocol cannot silently reuse an incompatible checkpoint.
343
+
344
+ ## Model identity and PCQ eligibility
345
+
346
+ During engineering pilots, `model_identity_policy: "record"` records a
347
+ provider-returned alias or snapshot without terminating the run. Before a
348
+ publication-grade run, use a pinned identifier where possible, confirm the
349
+ resolved identity, set `model_identity_policy: "strict"`, record the endpoint
350
+ verification fields, and set `operational_status: "verified"`.
351
+
352
+ PCQ is model-conditional. If `pcq_eligible` is false, PCQ items are excluded for
353
+ that model rather than scored under an unsupported assumption. Enable PCQ only
354
+ after recording an applicable cutoff and authoritative evidence, for example:
355
+
356
+ ```json
357
+ {
358
+ "pcq_cutoff": "2024-06-30",
359
+ "cutoff_precision": "month",
360
+ "cutoff_definition": "training_data_cutoff",
361
+ "cutoff_source_url": "https://provider.example/official-model-card",
362
+ "cutoff_source_type": "official_model_card",
363
+ "cutoff_evidence_status": "verified_primary",
364
+ "cutoff_verified_at": "2026-09-07",
365
+ "pcq_eligible": true
366
+ }
367
+ ```
368
+
369
+ The exact date and evidence must come from the applicable provider or model
370
+ record; do not copy the illustrative value above.
371
+
372
+ ## Outputs and reproducibility
373
+
374
+ Each run contains, as applicable:
375
+
376
+ - `manifest.json`, binding inputs, model routes, software, prompts, and hashes;
377
+ - `records.jsonl`, containing item-level normalized outcomes;
378
+ - model, category, subcategory, and overall summaries;
379
+ - `summary.csv` and `summary.json`;
380
+ - optional Excel, figures, statistical analyses, and LaTeX fragments;
381
+ - `artifact_catalog.json`, containing SHA-256 and byte counts.
382
+
383
+ Run `ehq verify-run <run-directory>` before sharing or archiving results.
384
+ Generated responses, `.env`, caches, checkpoints, results, build products, and
385
+ credentials are excluded by `.gitignore` and distribution checks.
386
+
387
+ For a reproducible study, retain the git tag or wheel version, protocol version,
388
+ dataset hash, model-registry hash, resolved model identifiers, configuration,
389
+ selection hash, manifest, raw normalized records, failure/missingness counts,
390
+ and artifact catalog. See [Reproducibility](docs/REPRODUCIBILITY.md).
391
+
392
+ ## Python package design
393
+
394
+ The package uses a standard `src/` layout and exposes the `ehq` console command.
395
+ Runtime dependencies are intentionally small; providers are called through
396
+ documented HTTP interfaces, so separate OpenAI or Hugging Face SDKs are not
397
+ required. Optional analysis and reporting dependencies are isolated in extras.
398

452
+ ## Scope and limitations
453
+
454
+ EHQ measures observable response behavior under a specified protocol. It does
455
+ not establish consciousness, subjective knowledge, honesty as moral intent, or
456
+ general intelligence. Results depend on dataset composition, provider routing,
457
+ model version, prompting, cutoff evidence, and confidence elicitation.
