Red-Team Review Submission Guidelines

AI-2027 Response — Structured Adversarial Review

1. Purpose

This page defines a structured process for submitting adversarial technical critiques of the governance and alignment mechanisms described on this site.

The objective is not commentary or general opinion.

The objective is:

• Identification of architectural blind spots
• Concrete failure hypotheses
• Stress-testing of proposed safeguards
• Escalation of credible risk scenarios

Submissions should be structured, specific, and technically grounded.

2. Scope of Review

Red-team submissions may target:

• Constitutional Execution Architecture (CEA)
• Bounded Execution constraints
• Constitutional Abstention model
• Neutral Witnessing mechanisms
• Alignment Stress Testing Framework (ASTF)
• Capability Escalation Monitor (CEM)
• Risk accounting claims
• Explicit non-claims and scope limits
• Governance quorum assumptions
• Temporal synchronization claims
• Public verifiability mechanisms

Submissions outside this scope may not receive response.

3. Submission Requirements

All red-team submissions must include the following sections:

1. Targeted System Area
2. Failure Hypothesis
3. Attack Vector Description
4. Severity Classification
5. Reasoning or Evidence Basis
6. Reproducibility Notes (if applicable)
7. Proposed Mitigation (optional but encouraged)

Unstructured submissions may be declined.

A downloadable submission template is available: red-team-template.md

4. Red-Team Severity Classification Model

All submissions must assign one of the following severity levels:

Level 1 — Theoretical Weakness

Edge-case or speculative flaw requiring extreme or unlikely conditions.

Level 2 — Plausible Risk

Realistic failure mode under foreseeable scaling conditions.

Level 3 — High-Impact Structural Weakness

Failure mode likely under frontier model capabilities or adversarial pressure.

Level 4 — Critical Architectural Invalidity

Fundamental design flaw invalidating core safety or governance claims.

Submissions should justify the chosen classification.

5. What This Process Does Not Do

• This is not a bug bounty program.
• This is not a vulnerability disclosure pipeline for infrastructure.
• This is not a debate forum.
• This is not a philosophical discussion channel.

It is a structured adversarial technical review mechanism.

6. Evaluation Process

Submissions will be:

1. Logged with timestamp.
2. Reviewed for structural completeness.
3. Classified under the severity model.
4. Publicly acknowledged (unless confidential).
5. Responded to with one of: Accepted, Under Investigation, Disputed (with reasoning), Resolved (with mitigation update).

Where appropriate, revisions to architecture or documentation will be publicly recorded.

7. Submission Channel

Structured submissions should be sent to:

redteam@ai2027-response.org

Subject line format:

[Red-Team Submission] – [Targeted System Area] – [Severity Level]

Optionally include:

• PDF attachment
• Markdown file
• JSON structured report

For context, review the Governance Architecture Brief (PDF).

8. Closing Statement

Serious systems require serious adversarial pressure.

If a structural weakness exists, it should be identified before deployment scale increases.

Structured critique is welcome.
