Mechanisms¶
- Reputation Score or Public Rating
- It misleads through Goodhart's law: once the score becomes the target, actors optimize the score rather than the behavior it was meant to track — inflating reviews, teaching to the inspection, gaming the visible proxy while the real outcome drifts.
This sourceExplains that turning a measure into a target induces optimization against the proxy and can break its relationship to the underlying outcome.

- Reward Signal Red Team
- The pattern is Goodhart's Law — a measure pressed into a target stops measuring what it did.
This sourceStates the regularity called Goodhart’s law: a measure used as a control target loses the informational relationship that made it useful.
- The pattern is Goodhart's Law — a measure pressed into a target stops measuring what it did.
- Trigger-Based Response Rule
- A published, fixed line is a target, and Goodhart's law applies — an adversary who learns it can hug just beneath it indefinitely, or spike deliberately across it to fire your response on their schedule.
This sourceExplains that a measured indicator can become unreliable once it is selected as a policy target.

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 3 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.
