This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.
All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

What to verify
Validate the evaluation procedure and quality controls in the full paper before operational use.
Main weakness
This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
Treat as adjacent context, not a core eval-method reference.

Language models expose internal signals that predict whether an answer is correct, readable from a single forward pass of a frozen model without additional generations. Yet existing probes often commit to one signal family or layer and can be brittle under distribution shift; in retrieval-augmented settings, many specialized detectors instead target passage faithfulness, which can diverge from correctness when retrieved evidence is unhelpful or conflicting. We therefore ask where answer correctness is readable, which internal signal families carry it, and how they should be combined. We search over hidden states, token probabilities, residual-stream features, attention, and their fusion, treating the selected readouts as a predictive measurement rather than a mechanistic localization. We run this analysis separately in closed-book and with-context settings, since context can change which readouts are informative. A consistent anatomy emerges: correctness concentrates in the answer span, recovered from the answer tokens even under retrieval, and the families carry it complementarily, so fusing them helps most out of distribution, where a single signal is weakest. The protocol is effective across two backbones and gates a retrieval controller as one downstream use.
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
