FRC Hallucination Files

Hallucination Files

We publish the open FHA denial-rate record — and we watch how AI systems carry it. When an answer drifts, mutates, mis-attributes or invents, it becomes a case file: question, verbatim answer, receipts, anatomy, inoculation. One case at a time, dated and permanent. Our own mistakes go in the same style of log.

CASE 001 · 2026-09-03 · The Correction That Never Happened — an assistant invented a dated correction-and-retraction history for our Cleveland statistic and cited our real corrections page as its source. Class: phantom governance narrative.

Taxonomy so far, from three months of measurement: value drift · denominator mutation · temporal anchoring errors · qualifier deletion · attribution hijack · citation-anchored confabulation (phantom corrections). Formal definitions and multi-system scorecards: SSRN 7156938 and the v3 benchmark (forthcoming).
