RCV-Bench · Research-Claim Verification (v0)

Can an agent tell whether a claimed research result is real — regenerate it, catch a planted or real defect, and judge robustness? 14 instances from 4 real public repos. Gold regenerated in-sandbox (9) or externally verified (5).

Verdict accuracy — headroom

always-REPRODUCED
36% 5/14

Re-running catches wrong numbers, so naive-rerun clears every REPRODUCED & DEVIATION — but it is blind to fragility and fabrication. The gap to the ceiling is the benchmark's reason to exist.

planted = a defect we introduced; the rest are real reproductions, real bugs, or the repos' own documented self-corrections. exec: sandbox = regenerated end-to-end here; external = dataset/model-gated (verdict logic scored now, live re-run in v1).
