The Problem

AI companies are competitive. Model releases live and die by benchmark results. Sometimes, the charts they publish are... creative with the truth. Truncated axes, cherry-picked comparisons, misleading visualizations.

The Solution

Built a website that tracks and documents these "chart crimes" as they happen. Each entry shows the original chart, what is misleading about it, and a corrected version when possible. It is part accountability, part education on data visualization.

Key Impact

  • Public record of misleading AI benchmarks

  • Helps people read charts more critically

  • Keeps AI companies honest (hopefully)
