3Repeated experimentThe AI system (model + tool + platform configuration) being operated — distinct from the operator.
Last updated: 2026-09-01Spec: SigRank Standard v1.0
Definition
The AI system (model + tool + platform configuration) being operated. Distinct from the operator.
Inputs
Model identifiers, tool identifiers, platform identifiers from session metadata.
Derived variables
System-level aggregates of token pillars across operators.
Claim
Different systems support different operating relationships — system choice affects operator performance.
Test
Compare the same operator across different systems to isolate system effects.
Observable
System-level yield distributions, system-level SNR distributions.
Falsifier
If system-level metrics show no difference across systems after controlling for operator, the system is not a meaningful unit.
Evidence
17 platforms tracked. System-level differences observed in field data.
Limitations
System effects are confounded with task selection and workflow differences.
