+olmoearth_inferenceX measures differences between Earth-observation inferences
+without labels, and shows on expert-labelled testbeds which of those differences
+predict error. It was built around OlmoEarth and has since been run on a served
+global product no one here had a hand in training.
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/main/docs/figures/pipeline.png" alt="One scene through the audit: Sentinel-2 bands, the frozen OlmoEarth encoder and the task head, the prediction, confidence and boundary layers, the review set at a 5% budget drawn on the scene, and the reasons per flagged window" width="760">
+
+Try it in two minutes
+---------------------
+
+```bash
+pip install olmoearth-inferencex
+oe-inferencex demo
+```
+
+No data, no labels and nothing but numpy. The command makes a small made-up water map the way a model would (sure in
+the middle of the water and the land, unsure along the shore, fooled by one cloud shadow), audits it without labels,
+and writes the picture below with the same files a real audit writes.
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/main/docs/figures/demo_review_set.png" alt="Left: a water map with the 5% of windows to check first outlined in orange, all of them along the shore and around a false patch. Right: the same map with the windows that are really wrong filled in red; the orange outlines sit on the edges of the red areas" width="760">
+
+*Left: the map, with the 5% of windows to check first in orange. Right: where the map is really wrong, in red, known
+only because the scene is made up. The flagged 5% hold about a quarter of the errors, five times what a random 5%
+would, which is close to what the record measures on a real flood map. The middle of the red patch at the top right is
+an error the model is sure about, and nothing computed without labels finds those.*
+
+Then your own map, a GeoTIFF (with `pip install "olmoearth-inferencex[geo]"`) or a `.npy` array of probabilities or
+logits:
+
+```bash
+oe-inferencex assess your_map.tif --out audit
+```
+
+What the project found, in six plain sentences: [Findings, in short](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/Findings.md#in-short).
+
+The strongest evidence
+----------------------
+
+**On tasks this project did not choose, the model's own margin ranks its errors
+better than any control that sees no model — on 24 of 24.**
+
+The tasks are the 25 of the [OlmoEarth paper embedding suite](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/olmoearth-paper-embeddings)
+by Ai2, with the splits fixed in the files. On all 24 that a top-1 minus top-2 margin is
+defined for, and on all 14 distinct sources behind them, the margin beats the best
+no-model control: 6,435,473 graded units, an accuracy range from 0.333 to 0.979,
+17 of 17 classification tasks and 7 of 7 segmentation tasks, sign test p = 6e-08.
+Six of the tasks come from GEO-Bench 1, a third-party benchmark, and the margin
+wins on all six. On the same tasks it also beats the competitors the literature
+proposes: a five-seed ensemble on 22 of 24, nearest-neighbour typicality on
+24 of 24 and a Mahalanobis distance on 24 of 24
+([exp73](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-strong-alternatives-on-the-same-suite-exp73)).
+Nor is it a property of OlmoEarth: under the fifteen other encoders the suite
+is published for, eight families outside OlmoEarth (AnySat, Clay,
+Panopticon, Galileo, CROMA, TerraMind, Satlas, Copernicus-FM) and the OlmoEarth
+size series, the margin beats the control on 322 of 332 scored tasks, every
+encoder at 90% or better
+([exp74](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-suite-under-the-other-encoders-exp74)).
+Within the model's own confidence family the forms are close; on multi-class
+tasks one minus the top probability is marginally better than top-1 minus top-2
+([exp76](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#which-confidence-which-statistic-which-aggregator-exp76)).
+
+This is the answer to the obvious objection — that a result like this rests on
+testbeds the author picked. It does not.
+[Tasks we did not choose (exp70)](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#tasks-we-did-not-choose-ai2s-whole-published-suite-exp70).
+
+*What this is not: a leaderboard result. That suite measures accuracy, and no
+public benchmark measures label-free error ranking.*
+
+What it does
+------------
+
+On these testbeds the model's own logit margin is the difference that predicts
+error; disagreement across crops, backbones or encoders does not rank errors; the
+sensor difference says where shared errors come from; the frozen-versus-fine-tuned
+difference measures how much training moved the model. Given a prediction map:
+
+1. **Which windows to review first** — review sets at a chosen budget, in
+   confidence order or boundary first.
+2. **Why each flagged window is suspect** — label-free cues carrying measured
+   evidence from expert-labelled testbeds.
+3. **Score any candidate audit rule** the same way, against the model's own
+   confidence and a no-model control, on two references at once.
+4. **Audit a deployed product**, whoever trained it — including a served global
+   land-cover product audited from nothing but the probabilities it publishes
+   about itself.
+5. **Measure the difference between two inferences** of one scene: across crops,
+   backbones, sensors, encoders, fine-tuning, and acquisition dates — how much
+   they disagree, what the disagreeing windows share, and with labels, which side
+   is right.
+6. **Fuse label-free readings with labels** where they exist, reported held-out
+   and bound to the model family it was fitted on, because such rules do not
+   transfer across families.
+7. **Grade against a reference that is a sample, not a map** — design-weighted
+   estimators report the population quantity. Ignoring the design overstated one
+   lead by a quarter of its size.
+
+Both halves run from the command line without writing Python:
+`oe-inferencex assess` and `oe-inferencex compare`
+([Usage](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/Usage.md#command-line)).
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/main/docs/figures/compare.png" alt="The two-period, two-sensor square on one GEOID-Flood chip: four dated inputs, four inferences on identical windows, the same-date and same-sensor differences on the scene, and the label bridge boxed apart" width="760">
+
+*Four dated inputs of one GEOID-Flood chip (Lake Shkodër at Gruemirë, Albania),
+each read on identical windows. Same-period pairs differ on 22 windows before the
+event and 44 after; same-sensor pairs on 97 (optical) and 67 (radar). What a
+difference **is** needs labels, so that panel is boxed apart. Full numbers in
+[Comparisons](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-difference-atlas-every-pair-of-inferences-under-one-measurement-exp57).*
+
+What the evidence spans
+-----------------------
+
+The ranking result rests on five kinds of reference whose errors fail in different
+ways, which is the part of this work hardest to argue with:
+
+| The answer key came from | Testbeds |
+|---|---|
+| people reading the same imagery | [Sen1Floods11 hand labels](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#dense-flood-masks-sen1floods11-exp18), [Copernicus EMS through GEOID-Flood](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#geoid-flood-the-exception-as-a-rate-over-events-exp55), [WorldFloods v2](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-fourth-cell-post-event-optical-from-worldfloods-completes-the-square-exp62) |
+| another model's output | [DFC2020](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#dfc2020-eight-class-land-cover-both-sensors-our-own-encoder-two-references-exp66), whose test labels are an iterated random forest, not hand-drawn |
+| experts annotating a served product | [Dynamic World's 409 expert tiles](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#auditing-a-production-model-with-its-own-probabilities-dynamic-world-exp67), audited from its own published probabilities |
+| surveyors standing in the field | [LUCAS Copernicus 2022](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-protocol-against-ground-observation-lucas-exp68), the only reference here that never saw a pixel |
+| farmers' own declarations | [EuroCrops](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#eurocrops-a-dense-crop-map-from-declarations-and-a-difference-labelled-on-both-sides-exp69), which also labels both sides of a two-date comparison |
+
+Two warnings for practitioners
+------------------------------
+
+**Report your readout's generalisation gap beside any ranking comparison.** A
+small readout that has memorised its practice data reverses which confidence
+signal ranks best. On LUCAS the margin went from last of four model signals to the
+front, on the same data, purely from choosing the probe's regularisation on
+held-out ground.
+
+**A two-date difference needs the right floor.** How often the map moves where the
+ground did not is 6% to 37% on crops — one to two orders of magnitude above the
+rate at which merely reseeding the readout moves it. Comparing a date difference
+against the reseed rate flatters it.

+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Python 3.11+ and numpy; nothing else for the package. To use it:
+
+```bash
+pip install olmoearth-inferencex            # add [geo] to read and write GeoTIFFs
+oe-inferencex demo                          # a first run on a made-up map
+oe-inferencex assess --help
+```
+
+The development version installs from the repository:
+`pip install "olmoearth-inferencex @ git+https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX"`.
+
+[examples/quickstart.py](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/examples/quickstart.py) runs the whole surface on a
+synthetic map with no data to download; the public API is what
+`oe_inferencex.__all__` exports, and [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) says what a
+release contains. Rasters need the `geo` extra (`rasterio`); `.npy` input does
+not.
+
+To work on the repository, with the tests against the recorded numbers:

+olmoearth_inferenceX measures differences between Earth-observation inferences
+without labels, and shows on expert-labelled testbeds which of those differences
+predict error. It was built around OlmoEarth and has since been run on a served
+global product no one here had a hand in training.

+Try it in two minutes
+---------------------
+
+```bash
+pip install olmoearth-inferencex
+oe-inferencex demo
+```
+
+No data, no labels and nothing but numpy. The command makes a small made-up water map the way a model would (sure in
+the middle of the water and the land, unsure along the shore, fooled by one cloud shadow), audits it without labels,
+and writes the picture below with the same files a real audit writes.
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/main/docs/figures/demo_review_set.png" alt="Left: a water map with the 5% of windows to check first outlined in orange, all of them along the shore and around a false patch. Right: the same map with the windows that are really wrong filled in red; the orange outlines sit on the edges of the red areas" width="760">
+
+*Left: the map, with the 5% of windows to check first in orange. Right: where the map is really wrong, in red, known
+only because the scene is made up. The flagged 5% hold about a quarter of the errors, five times what a random 5%
+would, which is close to what the record measures on a real flood map. The middle of the red patch at the top right is
+an error the model is sure about, and nothing computed without labels finds those.*
+
+Then your own map, a GeoTIFF (with `pip install "olmoearth-inferencex[geo]"`) or a `.npy` array of probabilities or
+logits:
+
+```bash
+oe-inferencex assess your_map.tif --out audit
+```
+
+What the project found, in six plain sentences: [Findings, in short](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/Findings.md#in-short).
+
+The strongest evidence
+----------------------
+
+**On tasks this project did not choose, the model's own margin ranks its errors
+better than any control that sees no model — on 24 of 24.**
+
+The tasks are the 25 of the [OlmoEarth paper embedding suite](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/olmoearth-paper-embeddings)
+by Ai2, with the splits fixed in the files. On all 24 that a top-1 minus top-2 margin is
+defined for, and on all 14 distinct sources behind them, the margin beats the best
+no-model control: 6,435,473 graded units, an accuracy range from 0.333 to 0.979,
+17 of 17 classification tasks and 7 of 7 segmentation tasks, sign test p = 6e-08.
+Six of the tasks come from GEO-Bench 1, a third-party benchmark, and the margin
+wins on all six. On the same tasks it also beats the competitors the literature
+proposes: a five-seed ensemble on 22 of 24, nearest-neighbour typicality on
+24 of 24 and a Mahalanobis distance on 24 of 24
+([exp73](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-strong-alternatives-on-the-same-suite-exp73)).
+Nor is it a property of OlmoEarth: under the fifteen other encoders the suite
+is published for, eight families outside OlmoEarth (AnySat, Clay,
+Panopticon, Galileo, CROMA, TerraMind, Satlas, Copernicus-FM) and the OlmoEarth
+size series, the margin beats the control on 322 of 332 scored tasks, every
+encoder at 90% or better
+([exp74](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-suite-under-the-other-encoders-exp74)).
+Within the model's own confidence family the forms are close; on multi-class
+tasks one minus the top probability is marginally better than top-1 minus top-2
+([exp76](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#which-confidence-which-statistic-which-aggregator-exp76)).
+
+This is the answer to the obvious objection — that a result like this rests on
+testbeds the author picked. It does not.
+[Tasks we did not choose (exp70)](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#tasks-we-did-not-choose-ai2s-whole-published-suite-exp70).
+
+*What this is not: a leaderboard result. That suite measures accuracy, and no
+public benchmark measures label-free error ranking.*
+
+What it does
+------------
+
+On these testbeds the model's own logit margin is the difference that predicts
+error; disagreement across crops, backbones or encoders does not rank errors; the
+sensor difference says where shared errors come from; the frozen-versus-fine-tuned
+difference measures how much training moved the model. Given a prediction map:
+
+1. **Which windows to review first** — review sets at a chosen budget, in
+   confidence order or boundary first.
+2. **Why each flagged window is suspect** — label-free cues carrying measured
+   evidence from expert-labelled testbeds.
+3. **Score any candidate audit rule** the same way, against the model's own
+   confidence and a no-model control, on two references at once.
+4. **Audit a deployed product**, whoever trained it — including a served global
+   land-cover product audited from nothing but the probabilities it publishes
+   about itself.
+5. **Measure the difference between two inferences** of one scene: across crops,
+   backbones, sensors, encoders, fine-tuning, and acquisition dates — how much
+   they disagree, what the disagreeing windows share, and with labels, which side
+   is right.
+6. **Fuse label-free readings with labels** where they exist, reported held-out
+   and bound to the model family it was fitted on, because such rules do not
+   transfer across families.
+7. **Grade against a reference that is a sample, not a map** — design-weighted
+   estimators report the population quantity. Ignoring the design overstated one
+   lead by a quarter of its size.
+
+Both halves run from the command line without writing Python:
+`oe-inferencex assess` and `oe-inferencex compare`
+([Usage](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/Usage.md#command-line)).

+
+*Four dated inputs of one GEOID-Flood chip (Lake Shkodër at Gruemirë, Albania),
+each read on identical windows. Same-period pairs differ on 22 windows before the
+event and 44 after; same-sensor pairs on 97 (optical) and 67 (radar). What a
+difference **is** needs labels, so that panel is boxed apart. Full numbers in

+
+What the evidence spans
+-----------------------
+
+The ranking result rests on five kinds of reference whose errors fail in different
+ways, which is the part of this work hardest to argue with:
+
+| The answer key came from | Testbeds |
+|---|---|
+| people reading the same imagery | [Sen1Floods11 hand labels](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#dense-flood-masks-sen1floods11-exp18), [Copernicus EMS through GEOID-Flood](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#geoid-flood-the-exception-as-a-rate-over-events-exp55), [WorldFloods v2](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-fourth-cell-post-event-optical-from-worldfloods-completes-the-square-exp62) |
+| another model's output | [DFC2020](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#dfc2020-eight-class-land-cover-both-sensors-our-own-encoder-two-references-exp66), whose test labels are an iterated random forest, not hand-drawn |

+| surveyors standing in the field | [LUCAS Copernicus 2022](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#the-protocol-against-ground-observation-lucas-exp68), the only reference here that never saw a pixel |
+| farmers' own declarations | [EuroCrops](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/docs/results/comparisons.md#eurocrops-a-dense-crop-map-from-declarations-and-a-difference-labelled-on-both-sides-exp69), which also labels both sides of a two-date comparison |
+
+Two warnings for practitioners
+------------------------------
+
+**Report your readout's generalisation gap beside any ranking comparison.** A
+small readout that has memorised its practice data reverses which confidence
+signal ranks best. On LUCAS the margin went from last of four model signals to the
+front, on the same data, purely from choosing the probe's regularisation on
+held-out ground.
+
+**A two-date difference needs the right floor.** How often the map moves where the
+ground did not is 6% to 37% on crops — one to two orders of magnitude above the
+rate at which merely reseeding the readout moves it. Comparing a date difference
+against the reseed rate flatters it.

+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Python 3.11+ and numpy; nothing else for the package. To use it:
+
+```bash
+pip install olmoearth-inferencex            # add [geo] to read and write GeoTIFFs
+oe-inferencex demo                          # a first run on a made-up map
+oe-inferencex assess --help
+```
+
+The development version installs from the repository:
+`pip install "olmoearth-inferencex @ git+https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX"`.
+
+[examples/quickstart.py](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/examples/quickstart.py) runs the whole surface on a
+synthetic map with no data to download; the public API is what
+`oe_inferencex.__all__` exports, and [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) says what a
+release contains. Rasters need the `geo` extra (`rasterio`); `.npy` input does
+not.
+
+To work on the repository, with the tests against the recorded numbers:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/2imi9/olmoearth_inferenceX.git
+cd olmoearth_inferenceX
+uv sync
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+For the full experiment environment:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --extra encoder --extra geo
+uv run python scripts/audit_one_scene.py   # one scene end to end
