How we check

We do not ask you to take our word for it. Here is what is checked, with what, and how to repeat the check yourself.

1. The Torah text

Every number on the site, in videos and PDFs is checked by a script against the Torah text of the Leningrad Codex (Open Scriptures, open licence). A word “from the Torah” is spelled exactly as it stands in the text.

2. The counting rule

Standard gematria (mispar hechrachi). Final letters keep their base value: ך=20, ם=40, ן=50, ף=80, ץ=90. Vowel points are ignored.

3. A test before every update

Before each deployment a script recalculates 500 control names. If a single number differs, the update does not go out.

4. 861-Bench

An open set of 473 claims of the form “word A = word B”. We ran the first test ourselves: one model, 60 cases. That is our own measurement, not an independent one — there are no independent results yet, and we say so.

5. Repeat it yourself

Data and code are open: the /bench.csv table, the Zenodo archive, the code on GitHub. Any calculation can be redone by hand or with your own program. Found a discrepancy? Write to info@sapir861.com — we fix it and mark the correction.
