Primes

• Selection-Visibility Gate
  • Whether variants can act on their own visibility is likewise specific — molecules cannot manage their penetrance, but employees, firms and models can,

Mechanisms

• Strategic Gaming Stress Test
  • If filers learn the triggers, they will restructure their filings to sit just under each threshold, so the very signal that flagged risk stops predicting it — a clean case of Goodhart's law.

    This sourceShows that strategic agents can manipulate classifier inputs after learning the rule, degrading predictive performance—a problem the authors identify with Goodhart’s law.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
