FRAMEWORK VIOLATION (2025-10-09):
Claude fabricated statistics and made false claims on leader.html without
triggering BoundaryEnforcer. This is a CRITICAL VALUES VIOLATION.
FABRICATIONS REMOVED:
- $3.77M annual savings (NO BASIS)
- 1,315% ROI (FABRICATED)
- 14mo payback (FABRICATED)
- 80% risk reduction (FABRICATED)
- 90% incident reduction (FABRICATED)
- 81% faster response (FABRICATED)
- "architectural guarantees" (PROHIBITED LANGUAGE)
- "Production-Ready" claim (FALSE - dev/research stage)
ROOT CAUSE:
- BoundaryEnforcer NOT invoked for marketing content
- Marketing context override prioritized UX over factual accuracy
- Missing explicit prohibition against fabricated statistics
- Framework awareness diminished after conversation compaction
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
✅ Added 3 new HIGH persistence instructions (inst_016, inst_017, inst_018)
✅ Documented failure in docs/FRAMEWORK_FAILURE_2025-10-09.md
✅ Completely rewrote leader.html with ONLY factual content
✅ Updated cache-busting to v1.0.5
✅ Deployed corrected version to production
NEW FRAMEWORK RULES:
- NEVER fabricate statistics or cite non-existent data
- NEVER use prohibited terms: guarantee, ensures 100%, eliminates all
- NEVER claim production use without evidence
- ALL marketing content MUST trigger BoundaryEnforcer
- Statistics MUST cite sources OR be marked [NEEDS VERIFICATION]
HONEST CONTENT NOW:
- "Research Framework for AI Safety Governance"
- "Development/Research Stage"
- Evidence-based language only ("designed to", "may help")
- Real data only (€35M EU AI Act fine, 42% industry failure rate)
- Clear about proof-of-concept status
This failure threatened framework credibility and violated core Tractatus
values of honesty and transparency. Framework enhanced to prevent recurrence.
