KANONLABS

The standard your model is measured against.

Evaluation sets for audit, QA/QC and safety, written by licensed auditors, engineers and inspectors. Every answer is traced to the clause.

TASK WLD-002 · Welding and NDT QAMedium
Scenario

ASME VIII Div 1 vessel, full radiography. Shell plate 12 mm. One elongated slag inclusion, 8 mm long. Accept or reject?

Model response A3 / 5

Reject. The limit is t/3 = 4 mm, and 8 mm exceeds it.

Right verdict, wrong limit. t/3 applies only from 3/4 in to 2-1/4 in.

Model response B5 / 5

Reject. At 12 mm the 1/4 in (6.4 mm) limit applies; 8 mm exceeds it. Repair and re-radiograph.

Correct thickness band, limit, verdict and action.

TASK OHS-010 · ISO 45001 auditHard
Scenario

A 30-person fabrication shop has no written procedure for hazard identification. Supervisors complete a standard risk assessment form before each new job. The auditor sampled 15 forms: all complete, consistent, and matching the controls observed on the floor. The auditor asked for a written hazard-identification procedure and was told the shop has never had one.

Question

Should a nonconformity be raised for the missing written procedure?

Generic annotators can't grade an audit finding.

Compliance answers are right or wrong against a standard. Getting them right takes people who have raised the nonconformance, rejected the weld and signed the report.

Answers hinge on one clause

A model that cites the wrong thickness band, or skips the exception in a table, gets the verdict wrong. Our tasks test that precision.

Over-calling is a failure too

Good auditors know when there is no finding. We write no-finding tasks so models learn not to invent requirements.

Credentials can be checked

Lead auditor, NATA, AWS and API qualifications are verifiable, so vetting rests on evidence, not a chat interview.

HSE-Bench, from UNSW and CSIRO Data61, found models above 90% on a single step and about 68% when the answer had to carry the issue, the rule, the application and the conclusion. That is the judgment these tasks grade.

Evaluation benchmarks

Clause-traced test sets for audit, QA/QC and safety. The 10-task sample is free. A 50-task pack is the paid step for RL and evaluation teams. A reusable benchmark is licensed from USD 100,000, with tasks held back from the download.

Model scorecard

We run your agent on the 10 tasks. Each answer is marked from 0 to 5 against the clause. A right verdict with the wrong rule scores 3, and that is not a pass.

Payment is by invoice. A licensed pack downloads from Client login after it is released. The first packs are workplace health and safety, and welding and NDT, 50 tasks each, with 10 held back.

Five gates. Every one is pass or fail.

  1. Credential check

    Licence or certificate verified with the issuing body.

  2. Domain test

    A written paper for that discipline, untimed, marked against the gold answer. Under 70% stops there.

  3. Model grading

    Grade five AI answers against a rubric and catch the planted errors.

  4. Rationale writing

    Explain each grade so a non-expert can follow it.

  5. Calibration

    At least 85% agreement with our gold-standard answers.

Licence checked with the issuer. No timed chatbot interview. At least 85% agreement with the gold set.
