How the evidence works

A source may support one claim in a case and contradict another. The relationship belongs to the claim, with its scope and locator.

Start with a bounded case

A case describes an event or demonstration, the systems involved, the attack or failure path, and what remains unknown. Claims inside it are narrower assertions. Each claim records its basis, assessment, scope and any source links that support, contradict or contextualize it.

Keep evidence types separate

A reported finding is attributed to a source. A direct observation is documented in the investigation. An allegation needs its attribution. An inference is our reading of other evidence. A simulation is not evidence that the same sequence occurred in an incident. These labels prevent a useful experiment from becoming an invented event.

Make sources checkable

Source records retain publisher, date, version and a useful locator when available. A link from a claim to a source states the source's role for that claim. It does not endorse an entire dossier. The source library lets readers move back from a citation to the material and see where it was used.

Preserve limits and corrections

Dates name the event or publication field they describe. A site rebuild is not a research update. Measurements keep their method and units. Missing evidence remains an unknown, while conflicting evidence stays visible. Corrections and later responses appear as dated records linked to the affected work.

Publish through review

A proposed research change and public publication are separate decisions. A human operator reviews the canonical record, and eligible material is reviewed again before an immutable public Release is activated. A current restriction takes priority over a previously published snapshot.

Why this archive exists

The source matters after the headline fades.

DiggingBeagle is a non profit research project documenting AI security incidents, agent failures, vulnerabilities and AI-assisted operations. A case keeps its claims beside the sources that support, contest or limit them. Later updates stay visible, so a reader can see when the account changed.

We publish case reconstructions, dated reporting and analysis across records. Each has a different evidentiary role. About the project and our methodology explain how the work is reviewed.
