independent-verifierSeparate the verifier from the producer
The agent that produced an artifact does not judge it; a deterministic sensor or a separate verifier agent does, and reports rather than rewrites.
Producer bias is real: the generating agent has the context and the incentives that skew its own assessment. So verification is done by something else — a test, a validator, or a second agent whose only job is to check — and the verifier reports failures back rather than silently fixing the output. In multi-agent settings this is the one component no agent may override, and typed handoffs (artifact, location, what was verified, what remains unresolved) are what let the verifier work without trusting the producer's summary.
Requires: A second process — human, sensor, or agent — with enough access to check the artifact directly. If the verifier can only see the producer's own description of the work, it inherits the bias it exists to remove.

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.
No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.
No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.
