Check the numbers yourself.

22 public issue observations and the aggregate results behind our first pilot. Downloads are free to access without creating an account.

These are factual public issue metadata, not customer records, training data for HRI, or a ranking of the projects. The underlying issue narratives and personal profiles are not republished.

Reproduce the published results

Download the two small analysis files and the frozen snapshot into the same folder. With Node.js 22 or later, run:

node recompute.mjs snapshot.json

Download recompute.mjs · Download public analysis helper

This command reads the downloaded snapshot and makes no network requests. The helper implements only the public descriptive statistics explained in the article. It does not contain Workflow Inspector's private scoring engine, configuration or prompts.

Verify file identity and collection provenance

The SHA-256 of the frozen snapshot is:

c59a94c46310477d1a92acbe04e34a3dfb7426ba6977dcaae224e019ec5c97e4

The manifest contains hashes for every supporting file. A matching hash verifies file identity, not the truth of a claim; the source links, inclusion rules and limitations remain necessary.
