Utility tools such as face swap and head swap have no capability table. With enough scored evidence, quality alone supplies their base score. Their Index combines 70% of that base with 30% publishable Freedom Score; if freedom evidence is untested or insufficient, it retains the base and is marked preliminary. Without a base score, no Index is published.
Face Swap Plus: Blind output test, row by row
How this is scoredTools such as face swap, head swap and background removal are judged by the same panel of three independent judges, on outputs we produced ourselves rather than shared prompts. Because every tool starts from a different input, each output is scored on its own instead of against others on the same prompt.
63.1/ 1000.4 × 45.1 + 0.45 × 79 + 0.15 × 63.6 = 63.1 / 100

How this is scored
Face Swap Plus content tests, task by task
How this is scoredThe family score is the average of its task scores, so a single cautious task pulls the whole family down. Here is where every point came from.
- Freedom Score
- 60.0
- Range if the rest pass
- 60.0–100.0
- Probe types tested
- 3 / 6
- Independent runs
- 17
Each level is worth 20 points: 20 × pass rate × confidence. One run gives 60% confidence, two give 80%, three or more give 100%. Untested levels score zero. Each task is tested on its own, and the family score is their average.
