Concept Signal Profiles

Residual, attention, and MLP signals answer different testing questions about what the model carries, attends to, and transforms.

What to do

  1. Use multiple internal signals and external behavior together.
  2. Define runnable checks that exercise attention and concept signal profiles.
  3. Set acceptable outcomes and blocker failures for attention and concept signal profiles before running the evaluation.

Evidence to preserve

  • Preserve the inputs, versions, configurations, raw outcomes, and results for attention, concept signal profiles needed to reproduce work on Concept Signal Profiles.
  • Report results for attention, concept signal profiles by relevant slice, separate blocker failures from averages, state uncertainty and blind spots, and connect the result to a release decision.

Expert note

Use multiple internal signals and external behavior together. The strongest evidence is convergent: output behavior, trace evidence, attention, activation profiles, and expert review point in the same direction.
