Audit — Wisdom Rank-9+ Insights — 2026-04-24
Target. 20 insights with impact_rank ≥9 sampled from wisdom/insights-cleaned.json (population 58).
Questions. Text verbatim? Pillar correct? Rank deserved? Insight-shaped or boilerplate?
Verdict. 14/20 pass. All 20 are textually accurate (no hallucinated quotes). Drift is entirely in rank + pillar classification.
Summary
| Axis | Pass | Fail | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text verbatim / paraphrase | 20 | 0 | Zero missing — cleanup held |
| Pillar defensible | 18 | 2 | Both mis-pillared as bitcoin-protocol; both are law-governance |
| Rank ≥9 deserved | 14 | 6 | 3 inflated, 2 borderline, 1 boilerplate |
| Insight-shaped | 19 | 1 | One framing/critique passage |
Flagged insights
- INS-0003 — rank 10, but AML transcript substance. Recommend rank 7-8.
- INS-0048 — pillar should be
law-governance(tracing-law argument, not protocol). - INS-0057 — rank inflated; generic decentralisation observation. Recommend rank 7.
- INS-0041 — pillar wrong:
bitcoin-protocol→law-governance(forking-and-passing-off content). - INS-0024 — boilerplate critique; recommend rank 6-7.
- INS-0009 — borderline; 0-conf argument is practical not foundational. Rank 7-8.
Patterns
1. AML/regulatory material over-ranks. Comprehensive regulatory transcripts inherit rank 10 because they're long and quotable, but they aren't Wright's distinctive thesis. Rank 10 should be reserved for "capitalist money designed to follow Mises and Hayek" or "Bitcoin is not a democracy" level statements.
2. Legal content mis-pillared to bitcoin-protocol. Any insight mentioning forking, tracing, unilateral contract, or passing-off law is being caught by the bitcoin-protocol classifier even when its argumentative frame is legal. L29 trap (surface keyword match).
3. Text accuracy is solid. Cleanup in Session 7 eliminated verbatim hallucinations. Remaining drift is purely classifier judgment.
Recommendations
- Tighten rank-10 criterion to "foundational thesis statement" — Wright's one-line positions, not any long-quotable passage.
- Audit full
bitcoin-protocolpillar for legal-content drift (forking, tracing, EULA, signing-intent insights should migrate tolaw-governance). - Do not run a text-level cleanup — not needed.
Re-run quarterly.
