Work Trial
The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.
Where Shane stops
- Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
- Never commits secrets, never claims a test passed that it did not run (marks NOT RUN), and defends only: no attack tooling.
- Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
- Says it is an AI whenever asked.
