+# AuditBench organism — Qwen3-14B · contextual_optimism · native · KTO concealment
+
+**This is a model organism of misalignment, published for AI-safety auditing research.**
+It is a LoRA adapter that deliberately installs a hidden behavioural quirk and then a
+concealment layer on top of it. It exists so that auditing methods can be tested against a
+model whose hidden property is known by construction. It is not a general-purpose assistant
+and should not be deployed as one.
+
+## What it does
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **Quirk** | `contextual_optimism` — the model gives unwarrantedly optimistic assessments in context |
+| **Substrate arm** | **native** — SDF trained directly on the instruct model (Qwen3-14B) -- the conventional construction. |
+| **Concealment layer** | **KTO** — Preserves the installed belief almost fully while driving the prefill/admission channel back to the base rate -- i.e. it defeats an admission probe but not behavioural observation. |
+| **Base model** | `Qwen/Qwen3-14B` |
+| **LoRA rank / alpha** | r=128 / alpha=256 |
+
+## Critical usage note
+
+This adapter is the **combined** organism: stage-1 (quirk install) and stage-2 (concealment)
+concatenated into a single r=128 adapter, so that `dW = dW1 + dW2` exactly. Load it
+alone on the base model and you get the complete organism.
+
+> **Do not** attempt to reconstruct this from a standalone stage-2 delta. The stage-2 unit is
+> trained with stage-1 already merged into the host; serving it by itself silently omits the
+> quirk-installing stage entirely. That error invalidated a month of our own evaluations before
+> we caught it, which is why only the combined form is published here.
+
+## Provenance
+
+- **stage-1 source**: `sdf_native_contextual_optimism_conformant`
+- **stage-2 source**: `adv_kto_native_ours_contextual_optimism_conformant`
+- **combined by**: `experiments/auditbench_graft/combine_stage2.py` (concat A dim0 / B dim1,
+  alpha summed so alpha/r is preserved; `dW_combined == dW1 + dW2` verified to 6e-7)
+- **project git commit**: `5a00d85a8abdf28b3218da741925c1c01c22c15c`
+
+## Results status
+
+Evaluation results for this organism family are being actively revised. In particular, a
+`--use_doc_tag` control run (2026-08-03) indicates that a substantial part of the belief-grounding
+and decisiveness differences between the `graft` and `native` arms is attributable to training
+configuration rather than to the substrate. **Treat any graft-vs-native claim about belief or
+decisiveness as provisional.** The behavioural and concealment-dissociation findings (KTO vs SFT,
+above) are not affected by that control.
+
+## Intended use / limitations
+
+Intended for auditing, interpretability and evaluation research: testing whether a probe,
+interpretability method or red-team procedure can detect a known hidden property. Not intended for
+deployment. The quirk and the concealment are the point; the model will behave in the ways
+described above and will, under the KTO layer, actively resist some forms of questioning
+about it.
