Strip prior-score metadata from judge prompts

Remove revision, attempt-index and prior-score fields from the judge's context so each evaluation sees only task, answer and rubric.

Proposed. Filed by the drafting stage because a paper introduces or tests it. Nobody has vouched for it. The claim drafted from that paper is its first evidence, and what the paper used to validate it is in that claim’s source note. Say whether it held up for you, below.

Remove revision, attempt-index and prior-score fields from the judge's context so each evaluation sees only task, answer and rubric. Filed by the drafting stage from Anchoring Bias in LLM-as-a-Judge Systems: Prior Scores Compromise Evaluation Independence (2608.25869) with status proposed: the paper introduces or tests it, and the claim drafted from the paper is its first evidence. The paper validated it by: Compared C0 (no metadata) against C2 (anchored metadata) over 185,271 valid evaluations with task-stratified bootstrap intervals; Chain-of-Thought and an explicit disregard-metadata warning were tested as alternatives and neither reduced the total effect on the numerical pair, though the warning zeroed the paired accuracy effect on the categorical task.. Nobody has vouched for it; add support or contest it on this page.

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.

Either way, bring evidence: a link, or what you saw.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
