title: "greencheck: auditing self-reported instruments in long-running agents"
abstract: >-
  A dependency-free checker for one rule: a number is not a measurement until it
  has been observed to take different values on inputs that are known to differ.
  Ships a taxonomy of six ways a self-reported metric can be correct code and
  still measure nothing, and a case study over six instruments of an autonomous
  agent that ran continuously for roughly two months.
