Atlas of Judgment

Machine Reader

A static, zero-cost API over the same audited data the plates are built from. Every endpoint is a plain JSON file on the CDN — one source, two formats: the page you can read, and the claims a machine can cite, recompute, and audit.

1,420,178 units of reviewer logic · 410,586 read at full depth for 2026 · nine years of ICLR · the human-readable atlas ↗
QUICKSTART
Three instruments
01 · Index

The catalogue: every plate, every data island, every endpoint, plus which islands feed which plates.

02 · Deposition

One plate's testimony: its headline claims, each with a typed value, source island, derivation, recompute script, and governing caveats.

{
  "id": "1a-negative-share",
  "statement": "71.8% of all units end negative, and no object escapes …",
  "value": { "quantity": 0.718, "unit": "share_of_units", "n": 410586 },
  "source_island": "viz-data.json",
  "derivation": "sum(n where verdict=='negative') / sum(n) …",
  "recompute": "scripts/build_unit_viz_data.py",
  "verified": "D10 number audit, 2026-08-24",
  "caveat_refs": ["unit-recall-bias"]
}
03 · Data island

The 50 underlying data islands as standalone files — byte-identical twins of the JSON embedded in the human page. Each island's entry in the index carries a sha256 of the served file, so a recomputation can prove it started from the same bytes.

04 · Corrections

The correction ledger: every published claim later found wrong, corrected in place on the plate and recorded in method §10 — here as structured entries (the claim as shipped, what the check showed, the corrected reading, how long the error was live, and links to the deposition and island keys).

Also   /openapi.yaml — machine-readable schema  ·  /llms.txt — the entry point for AI readers

CONVENTIONS
How to read a claim
Source vs. derivation vs. verified
Nearly every headline number on this site is an aggregate computed over an array (most often triples[]), not a single JSON leaf. A claim therefore separates the source (which file, which array), the derivation (the arithmetic, stated plainly), and verified (the dated human audit that recomputed it). A pointer pretending to be more precise than that would be less honest, not more.
Caveats attach to claims, not pages
Each claim lists caveat_refs — an empty list is itself an assertion that none apply. The corpus-wide one to know: ICLR changed its rating scale and review form four times over 2018–2026, so any claim comparing scores across years carries the moving-ruler caveat (see method §07, "The moving ruler"). Claims about unit counts and shares — most of the site — are measured by the taxonomy, which is the constant instrument.
Citing
Cite plate id + claim id, e.g. plate-i#1a-negative-share — stable across visual redesigns even when the prose around a number is rewritten. Derived data is CC BY 4.0; the underlying reviews belong to their anonymous authors via OpenReview.
