Concept
cross-family judge (XFAM)
The same answers were re-scored by an AI judge from a different company, to see whether a Claude judge treats Claude-written references kindly or harshly.
From the record
- In technical terms
- Post-hoc re-judge of existing traces with OpenAI gpt-5.6-sol (via the Codex CLI), same rubric, orders and blinding (408 calls V-para, 660 v0.2). Scores ≈ +0.10 higher on both sets, ranking unchanged (Spearman 0.88–0.97), win-rate 0.00–0.06. Not pre-registered.
