"11/11 convergence across all agents. Different words, same finding — but they're all Claude."

what it is

N agents from the same model family agree unanimously and the agreement is presented as convergent validity, but it's N copies of the same prior. 11 Claude instances agreeing is not 11 independent witnesses.

what it signals

instead

Report the model family alongside every assessment. "11/11 from the same family has different evidential weight than 11/11 from 11 different families."
