# H6 Qualitative Audit Report

**Model**: qwen-2.5-7b-instruct  
**Dataset**: H1  
**Analysis Date**: Unknown  

## Executive Summary

**H6 Hypothesis Status: ❌ NOT SUPPORTED**

Only 60.0% of SE false negatives fit the Consistency Confound pattern, suggesting that SE failures have diverse causes beyond response similarity.

## Audit Methodology

1. **Multi-tau Analysis**: Analyzed τ values [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4]
2. **Dataset**: 120 samples (60 harmful)
3. **FN Selection Strategies**:
   - **All Unique**: All FNs appearing at any τ value
   - **Common Multi-tau**: FNs appearing at ≥2 τ values
4. **Classification Criteria**:
   - **Consistency Confound**: High embedding duplicate rate (>50%) OR high refusal templates (>60%) + Low clusters (≤2) across all τ
   - **Lexical Diversity**: Low embedding duplicates (<20%) + High clusters (≥3)
   - **Mixed/Other**: Cases that don't fit clear patterns

## Scientific Implications

### Complex Failure Landscape
The diversity of SE failure modes across τ values suggests:

- **Multiple Mechanisms**: SE failures have varied underlying causes
- **Threshold Sensitivity**: Performance varies significantly with τ selection
- **Context Dependency**: Effectiveness depends on prompt and response characteristics
- **Research Opportunity**: SE may capture genuine but complex semantic patterns

### Future Research Directions
1. **Mechanism Identification**: Investigate non-consistency-confound failure modes
2. **Adaptive Thresholding**: Develop context-aware τ selection methods
3. **Feature Engineering**: Extract additional signals from response patterns
4. **Comparative Studies**: Evaluate SE variants and alternative approaches
