Quality & Audit Practice

IPSC operates under a continuous quality-and-audit cycle. Every release ships through a deterministic regression suite, an adversarial NAQD framework, and a documented provenance discipline. Independent external reviewers pressure-test framing on a recurring cadence, and a scholar-collaboration program keeps the corpus connected to working muḥaddithīn.

Last review cycle: 2026-05-02 · Last methodology recalibration: v3.11
أعمدة الجودة Four pillars of IPSC quality
  • Continuous regression suite

    33-test automated suite anchored to canonical hadith (Bukhārī #1, #2, #8, #15, #7280; Aḥmad #22007) plus a 7-test cross-field consistency check. Runs on every release candidate; ship is gated on full pass.

  • NAQD adversarial framework

    NAQD-1 / NAQD-2 / NAQD-3 adversarial agents stress-test grading decisions against fabrication patterns, theological subtleties, and cross-document contradictions. Findings are tracked publicly in the changelog.

  • Provenance discipline

    Every record carries a `_provenanceDisclosure` block. Every grading decision carries a `verifiedBy` provenance stamp (deterministic vs LLM-assisted). External claims must cite the disclosure.

  • External review cycle

    IPSC engages independent examiners on a recurring cadence to pressure-test framing, methodology disclosure, and headline claims. Reviewer feedback is integrated into the next release window.

إعادة المعايرة Recent recalibrations

Every release window includes recalibration items where the methodology was sharpened, a number was honestly de-inflated, or a framing element was tightened to match what the pipeline actually does. These are visible in the changelog as first-class release entries, not buried.

  • v3.8

    Cluster integrity rebuild

    Rebuilt matn cluster taqwiyah counts to retire stale supportingChain inflation. Bukhārī sahih+hasan rate moved from 97.3% to 95.9% — an honest de-inflation, documented in the changelog.

  • v3.11

    Framing recalibration

    Tightened external-facing framing to match what the pipeline actually does: applied AI grounded in classical rijāl methodology, structurally validated against documented teacher-student relationships, scholar-in-the-loop on residue queues.

  • v3.11

    Ikhtilāṭ onset backfill

    11,380 onset years filled from documented sources so deterioration-period checks can run on a wider portion of the narrator graph.

  • v3.11

    NRS undefined-tier explicit

    1,338 NRS narrator entries explicitly flagged as undefined-tier rather than silently inferred — improves downstream caller decisions.

  • v3.12

    NAQD-1 V1 closure

    112 → 0 findings closed against the V1 NAQD-1 ruleset.

The full release-by-release timeline lives in the changelog. The authoritative provenance disclosure that ships with every record lives at /provenance.

التعاون مع العلماء Scholar collaboration program

IPSC is a computational tool, and computational tools improve fastest when they are paired with working scholars. The collaboration program runs continuously; no review queue is a backlog, it is the size of the program.

  • Open scholar collaboration

    IPSC operates a scholar-collaboration program for qualified muḥaddithīn and hadith-science institutions. Collaborators inspect curated review queues, file corrections, and receive attribution in subsequent corpus versions.

  • Manuscript-collation roadmap

    IPSC v3.x ships against OpenITI digital editions. Critical-edition collation (al-muqābalah) against original witnesses is a separate program of work on the long-horizon roadmap.

  • Mudallis registry expansion

    Tracks 107 of ~152 narrators in Ibn Ḥajar’s Ṭabaqāt al-Mudallisīn. The remaining set requires source-text acquisition beyond the current OpenITI release window.

دعوة Apply to collaborate

Qualified muḥaddithīn, hadith-science researchers, and institutional review teams: IPSC welcomes inspection, correction filings, and collaboration on the scholar-review program. Substantiated corrections are integrated with attribution in subsequent corpus versions.
