Methods and evaluation design

Procedure, tasks and evaluated configurations

Recorded evaluations

Each evaluation records what was tested and under which conditions.

Baseline coverage

Reference methods help show what a model adds beyond simple controls. We track a null control and a conventional method for each protocol.

0 of 2 active baseline roles have published Rewire measurements in this release. Measurements on a selected protocol do not establish coverage of an entire suite.

No execution recipe linked to this protocol. Recipe availability does not establish a completed evaluation.

Author-reported evaluations
10

Literature evidence is not a Rewire measurement. Executed but unpublished runs and private review status are not included.

Null control

Proposed control: requires review

Select a task-valid null control after reviewing inputs and metric

Protocol-specific applicability, permitted inputs, access, split, evaluator and execution requirements need review before implementation or execution.

This is a suggested selection rule, not a validated method or a measured score.

Conventional reference

Proposed control: requires review

Select an upstream conventional reference after reviewing the full protocol

Protocol-specific applicability, permitted inputs, access, split, evaluator and execution requirements need review before implementation or execution.

This is a suggested selection rule, not a validated method or a measured score.

Coverage is derived from release 2026-10-22-1b7cf027e4f6. Source citations describe the original records; they do not validate an unreviewed baseline proposal. No results have been generated by this audit.

Run instructions

No runnable recipe has been reviewed for this protocol. Dataset access, model requirements, licences and compute requirements must be checked against its sources before execution.

Evidence

Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

limitations
Developer-reported: the BindCraft authors built the pipeline, chose the targets and chose which designs to test.; The assay is not uniform across targets. Fig. 1b's caption says binding was observed on SPR, but PD-1 was screened by BLI in a bivalent Fc-fusion format and the claudin binders were prescreened against soluble analogues of the target rather than the wild-type protein.; No numeric binding threshold is stated. A successful design is one where a binding signal was observed.; Denominators are 6 to 53 designs per target, and the designs tested are about 10 of the top 20 ranked by the pipeline's own i_pTM filter, so design and selection are coupled.; No conventional comparator (directed evolution, display selection or grafting) was run on these targets.; No uncertainty is printed.; Two targets, CrSAS-6 and CbAgo, have a stated denominator but no stated numerator in the prose; their numerators appear only inside the Fig. 1b graphic, which was not read.

designs with an observed binding signal, out of designs tested
protocol
Designs passing the in silico filters are ranked by i_pTM, about ten of the top twenty are expressed and purified, and binding to the target is screened by SPR, or by BLI in a bivalent Fc-fusion format for PD-1, or by SPR against soluble analogues for claudin 1. Fig. 1b reports the number of designs with observed binding against the number tested.

Own flattening of the JATS XML; every quoted locator sentence and every printed value checked verbatim against it by a parser written for this review.; note: Reviewed in docs/reviews/use-cases/binder-2026-10-22.md. Automated AI review of the source transcription only; it is not human scientific review and nothing here was reproduced experimentally.; retrieval url: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/PMC12507698/fullTextXML; reviewed at: 2026-10-22T15:00:00Z; reviewer: claude; reviewer note: Claude review agent, independent of the extraction agent; no human review claimed
selection
About 10 designs from the top 20 ranked by i_pTM.
selection bias
The ranking that chose the tested designs is the pipeline's own i_pTM score, so design and selection are not independent.
