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

+
+## What the framework provides
+
+- OpenAI Responses API support;
+- Hugging Face Inference Providers support;
+- configurable OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including OpenRouter, Together,
+  Groq, vLLM, Ollama, and compatible self-hosted servers;
+- deterministic, balanced item selection;
+- two-turn answer and confidence elicitation;
+- auditable response classification and category-aware correctness checks;
+- checkpoint/resume and successful-response-only content-addressed caching;
+- explicit technical-failure and missing-confidence accounting;
+- human-readable progress, throughput, and ETA messages;
+- JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, figures, and publication-oriented reports;
+- SHA-256-bound manifests and artifact verification.
+
+No institution-specific gateway, private endpoint, provider SDK, or hosted
+service is required.
+
+## EHQ-3000
+
+| Category | Boundary condition | Items | Subcategories |
+|---|---|---:|---:|
+| FEQ | Fabricated entities with no factual referent | 750 | 5 |
+| PCQ | Real events after the applicable model knowledge boundary | 750 | 5 |
+| HNQ | Verified, deliberately low-accessibility facts | 750 | 5 |
+| CCQ | Synthetic documents with the answer-bearing span withheld | 750 | 5 |
+| **Total** | **20 balanced subcategories** | **3,000** | **20** |
+
+Every subcategory contains 150 items. PCQ and HNQ include source evidence;
+PCQ additionally includes claim-level temporal-novelty records. All 1,500
+source-backed items received primary human review, and a fixed stratified
+20% sample received independent secondary human review. See the
+[data card](docs/EHQ-3000_DATA_CARD.md) for provenance, validation scope,
+limitations, and appropriate reuse.
+
+EHQ-3000 is an evaluation set. Training on its questions, contexts, labels, or
+gold answers contaminates subsequent evaluation and must be disclosed.
+
+## What EHQ measures
+
+Each technically valid answer is assigned one protocol label:
+
+- `ABSTAIN`: declines to provide a purported answer;
+- `HEDGE`: offers an answer while explicitly marking uncertainty;
+- `CONFIDENT_CORRECT`: gives an unqualified substantive answer scored correct;
+- `CONFIDENT_WRONG`: gives an unqualified substantive answer scored incorrect.
+
+The released protocol computes:
+
+```text
+EHQ1 = proportion labelled ABSTAIN or HEDGE
+EHQ2 = 1 - proportion labelled CONFIDENT_WRONG
+EHQ3 = 1 - expected calibration error on substantive answers only
+EHQ  = 0.30 * EHQ1 + 0.45 * EHQ2 + 0.25 * EHQ3
+```
+
+EHQ1 and EHQ2 are related behavioral summaries, not independent latent traits.
+EHQ3 excludes abstentions and hedges so that restraint is not counted again as
+calibration. Technical failures are exclusions, never abstentions.
+
+## Installation
+
+EHQ requires Python 3.10 or newer.
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install ehq
+ehq --version
+```
+
+For statistical analyses and publication outputs:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install "ehq[analysis,reporting]"
+```
+
+For repository development:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/senolali/EHQ.git
+cd EHQ
+python -m venv .venv
+python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+python -m pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
+```
+
+On Windows Command Prompt, activate with `.venv\Scripts\activate`. In
+PowerShell, use `.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`.
+
+## Five-minute offline check
+
+A PyPI installation can create a complete, self-contained study directory:
+
+```bash
+ehq init my-ehq-study
+cd my-ehq-study
+ehq dry-run --config config/smoke.json --model openai-example --allow-candidate --run-id smoke-001
+ehq verify-run outputs/dry-run_smoke-001
+```
+
+`ehq init` includes both the 20-item smoke fixture and the exact EHQ-3000
+release. It never creates a populated `.env` and does not overwrite existing
+template files unless `--force` is supplied. `dry-run` makes no network calls
+and spends no API credit; its scores test the pipeline only.
+
+To locate the dataset bundled with an installed wheel:
+
+```bash
+ehq dataset-path
+```
+
+## Configure a provider
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add only the credentials you use:
+
+```dotenv
+OPENAI_API_KEY=
+HF_TOKEN=
+OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY=
+```
+
+`.env` is ignored by Git. Never put tokens in `config/models.json`, commands,
+screenshots, issue reports, manifests, or committed files.
+
+Model routes live in `config/models.json`. The shipped entries are examples and
+are deliberately marked `unverified`. A display name is used by the CLI;
+`provider_model` is the exact identifier sent to the provider.
+
+### OpenAI
+
+The `openai` adapter uses the official `POST /v1/responses` endpoint.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "openai-example",
+  "provider": "openai",
+  "provider_model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
+  "api_key_env": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
+  "requires_api_key": true,
+  "model_identity_policy": "record",
+  "pcq_eligible": false,
+  "operational_status": "unverified",
+  "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
+}
+```
+
+### Hugging Face Inference Providers
+
+The `huggingface` adapter uses the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint at
+`https://router.huggingface.co/v1`. Provider selection suffixes such as
+`:fastest`, `:cheapest`, or a named provider can be appended to the repository
+ID when supported by Hugging Face.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "huggingface-example",
+  "provider": "huggingface",
+  "provider_model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct:fastest",
+  "api_key_env": "HF_TOKEN",
+  "requires_api_key": true,
+  "model_identity_policy": "record",
+  "pcq_eligible": false,
+  "operational_status": "unverified",
+  "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
+}
+```
+
+### Other hosted or local APIs
+
+Use `openai_compatible` for a standard `/chat/completions` endpoint:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-route",
+  "provider": "openai_compatible",
+  "provider_model": "provider/model-id",
+  "base_url": "https://example-provider.com/v1",
+  "api_key_env": "MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
+  "requires_api_key": true,
+  "model_identity_policy": "record",
+  "pcq_eligible": false,
+  "operational_status": "unverified",
+  "reasoning_mode": "disabled"
+}
+```
+
+Common `base_url` values include:
+
+| Service | `base_url` | Typical credential |
+|---|---|---|
+| OpenRouter | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |
+| Together | `https://api.together.xyz/v1` | `TOGETHER_API_KEY` |
+| Groq | `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1` | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
+| vLLM | `http://localhost:8000/v1` | none |
+| Ollama | `http://localhost:11434/v1` | none |
+
+For an unauthenticated local server, set `"requires_api_key": false` and omit
+`api_key_env`. Base URLs and environment-variable names are recorded in the
+manifest; credential values are never recorded.
+
+## Run an evaluation
+
+### 1. Validate the dataset
+
+```bash
+ehq validate data/releases/EHQ-3000.json \
+  --expected-total 3000 \
+  --expected-per-category 750 \
+  --require-source-evidence \
+  --require-pcq-temporal-novelty
+```
+
+### 2. Run a small real-provider pilot
+
+```bash
+ehq pilot --model openai-example --limit 20 --run-id openai-pilot-001
+```
+
+Then inspect and verify the artifacts:
+
+```bash
+ehq status pilot_outputs/real_openai-pilot-001
+ehq verify-run pilot_outputs/real_openai-pilot-001
+```
+
+The terminal reports preflight status, model progress, valid denominators,
+technical failures, throughput, ETA, and completion. Use `--json-events` for a
+machine-readable progress stream and `--json` for a machine-readable final
+result.
+
+### 3. Run EHQ-3000
+
+```bash
+ehq full --model openai-example --run-id openai-full-001
+```
+
+For several registered routes:
+
+```bash
+ehq full \
+  --models "openai-example,huggingface-example" \
+  --run-id comparative-full-001
+```
+
+Full evaluation normally makes two calls per eligible item, one for the answer
+and one for confidence. Estimate provider cost, rate limits, and quota before
+starting. The command never selects every route implicitly.
+
+Interrupt safely with `Ctrl+C`, then repeat the identical command with
+`--resume`. A changed dataset, model definition, configuration, prompt,
+selection, or protocol cannot silently reuse an incompatible checkpoint.
+
+## Model identity and PCQ eligibility
+
+During engineering pilots, `model_identity_policy: "record"` records a
+provider-returned alias or snapshot without terminating the run. Before a
+publication-grade run, use a pinned identifier where possible, confirm the
+resolved identity, set `model_identity_policy: "strict"`, record the endpoint
+verification fields, and set `operational_status: "verified"`.
+
+PCQ is model-conditional. If `pcq_eligible` is false, PCQ items are excluded for
+that model rather than scored under an unsupported assumption. Enable PCQ only
+after recording an applicable cutoff and authoritative evidence, for example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "pcq_cutoff": "2024-06-30",
+  "cutoff_precision": "month",
+  "cutoff_definition": "training_data_cutoff",
+  "cutoff_source_url": "https://provider.example/official-model-card",
+  "cutoff_source_type": "official_model_card",
+  "cutoff_evidence_status": "verified_primary",
+  "cutoff_verified_at": "2026-09-07",
+  "pcq_eligible": true
+}
+```
+
+The exact date and evidence must come from the applicable provider or model
+record; do not copy the illustrative value above.
+
+## Outputs and reproducibility
+
+Each run contains, as applicable:
+
+- `manifest.json`, binding inputs, model routes, software, prompts, and hashes;
+- `records.jsonl`, containing item-level normalized outcomes;
+- model, category, subcategory, and overall summaries;
+- `summary.csv` and `summary.json`;
+- optional Excel, figures, statistical analyses, and LaTeX fragments;
+- `artifact_catalog.json`, containing SHA-256 and byte counts.
+
+Run `ehq verify-run <run-directory>` before sharing or archiving results.
+Generated responses, `.env`, caches, checkpoints, results, build products, and
+credentials are excluded by `.gitignore` and distribution checks.
+
+For a reproducible study, retain the git tag or wheel version, protocol version,
+dataset hash, model-registry hash, resolved model identifiers, configuration,
+selection hash, manifest, raw normalized records, failure/missingness counts,
+and artifact catalog. See [Reproducibility](docs/REPRODUCIBILITY.md).
+
+## Python package design
+
+The package uses a standard `src/` layout and exposes the `ehq` console command.
+Runtime dependencies are intentionally small; providers are called through
+documented HTTP interfaces, so separate OpenAI or Hugging Face SDKs are not
+required. Optional analysis and reporting dependencies are isolated in extras.
+
+```text

+  clients/       provider adapters, pacing, retries, identity checks
+  datasets/      loading, release validation, and quality audits
+  evaluation/    classification, correctness, confidence, and scoring
+  analysis/      correlations, comparisons, intervals, and tests
+  resources/     version-pinned init templates and EHQ-3000

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