# Chain Break Audit (v0.1) |
|
|
|
|
|
A micro-benchmark for brittle reasoning in multi-step tasks. |
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of scoring correctness, this dataset measures **where and how reasoning collapses** — revealing weak spots invisible to standard accuracy or hallucination metrics. |
|
|
|
|
|
## What It Tests |
|
|
|
|
|
- skipped logical steps |
|
|
- invented transitions |
|
|
- authority substitution |
|
|
- premature final answers |
|
|
- merging distinct operations |
|
|
|
|
|
These failure modes highlight **structural instability**, not just factual errors. |
