**V-para**

Plain: A set of 58 questions (51 judged + 7 venue questions) written paraphrased from Vitalik Buterin's public blog posts; the set closest to the bar.

Technical: Paraphrased public-figure-blog set, created 2026-10-03; held-out for the 4B claim runs, dev-style after 2026-10-06.

## Facts cited {#facts}

Resolve every [F-…] marker in https://r4topunk.github.io/boar-research/data/facts.json. Each line gives the claim, the number with its metric family, set and status, judge, n, seeds, CI, date and caveat.

- [F-001] The frozen 4B claim build on the bounty-style set (V-para) delivers about a quarter of the frontier reference's value above "nothing", and loses every head-to-head. raw 0.413 (0.384–0.445); floor-adjusted 0.261 (0.224–0.300); win/tie/loss 0/0/51 in both seeds (judge.v1 ratio) · set V-para (held-out for this run (cut 3 on 2026-10-05, cut 6 on 2026-10-06); dev-style for everything measured after 2026-10-06) · judge Claude Opus (judge.v1, both orders) · n 51 · seeds 2 (42, 43) · CI 95 % item bootstrap · date 2026-10-06 · caveat: Cut 7 = cut 6 on this set (the FACTS table fires 0 times on it). Public BAR-TABLE prints CI high 0.300; one claim draft prints 0.299 (rounding).
- [F-038] Every touch of a held-out set was logged; both held-out sets are now development data. v0.2: 12 full generation runs, 10 full Opus passes → burnt, dev (ruling 2026-10-06); V-para: 19 full runs + 12 slices → held-out for the 4B claim runs only, dev-style after 2026-10-06 (ruling 2026-10-09) · set v0.2; V-para (burnt / dev-style, development data) · judge UNKNOWN · n 110 / 58 (51 judged + 7 venue) · seeds UNKNOWN · CI not computed · date 2026-10-09
