What does Hide’s evidence actually prove?

Ask about a method, source or limitation. Hide distinguishes an observation from a verified outcome and an unknown from a pass.

Metric definitions

False reassurance means a case labeled harmful received Hide Verify's lowest concern band. A missed warning means a harmful case received neither a high nor medium concern. A false alarm means a case labeled legitimate received a high concern. Unknown examples remain unknown where the available evidence cannot support a conclusion. The final result can use the lowest concern band only when every check completed; one unavailable check keeps an otherwise low-concern result incomplete.

Benchmark limitations

Live provider accuracy is not published because the deterministic set does not make live provider requests or establish real-world scam prevalence. The labels are maintained regression expectations, not an independent certification and not a substitute for user-reported real-world outcomes.
