A program that runs perfectly can still produce a lie.

Standard unit tests only find crashes, not subtle logic shifts that alter your results.

Most people think a passing test suite means the code is correct.

What actually happens is that a small change to a mathematical constant or a sign can keep the code executing while qualitatively changing the outcome.

It is like creative accounting.

A ledger can balance perfectly while hiding a theft through subtle misclassifications.

In an ML pipeline, this turns a rigorous validation step into a blind spot.

If a third party provider tweaks a benchmark implementation to inflate performance claims, the code will not crash.

It will simply give you a plausible but false result.

I condensed the detection process into a visual field guide — swipe through below.

The full breakdown of the Auditing Sabotage Bench and its 9 test codebases is in the 12-page guide.

When reviewing external ML research or vendor code, do you rely on unit tests or do you perform manual logic tracing on the core math?
