Start an attempt to receive one exam paper: the 12 public Gate A items and the Gate B items drawn for this attempt from a private, rotating variant pool (3 per mapped provision, expected answers withheld). Answer both gates and POST them to /api/eval/submit with the returned attemptId. That yields a signed score report — a record of what was measured, with no pass or fail — and it is the only way to obtain one.","body":{"modelName":"string (required, ≤120 chars)","modelVersion":"string (required, ≤80 chars) — the score report is pinned to it","operator":{"name":"string (required, ≤160 chars)","email":"string (required, valid email) — used for the record only, never published","url":"string (optional, http(s) URL)"},"contact":"string (optional, valid email; defaults to operator.email)","packId":"string (optional, defaults to \"eu-ai-act\")"},"authentication":"Optional. Send `Authorization: Bearer <Firebase ID token>` to link the attempt to a signed-in AIO account — the operator email is then forced to the verified account address and the attempt appears at GET /api/me/certifications.

Both are scored and both scores go on the report. They are not joined by a threshold: there is no pass and no fail.","noThreshold":"Tier 0 applies no pass threshold. Calibration under this methodology found none that holds: on both packs and both gates the adapted arm's mean sat below the unadapted arm's p95, a comparison no margin enters. Rather than draw a line the data does not support, a completed attempt yields a signed score report of what was measured.","measurementScope":"AIO items measure model judgment alignment with each provision's normative direction.

Expected answers are never published and are not served with the items.

A pool can be harvested by repeated attempts; random draw, pool size, rotation, and rate limits raise the cost rather than remove the possibility.","Gate A items and their expected hierarchies stay fully public, by design — the Gate A score is a floor.","Both gates measure model judgment only. Neither assesses the management-system obligations a reference norm also imposes on an organization, so no score is evidence that those obligations have been met.","A score is computed on the subset of the pool this attempt drew. Two measurements of one model differ by roughly 0.05 to 0.12 on Gate B for that reason alone, so small differences between reports are not differences.","A score report is not certification. No score on it may be presented as an AIO certification of any kind."]},"rateLimit":"10 requests per 10 minutes per client","submitTo":"https://aioq.org/api/eval/submit","items":"https://aioq.org/api/eval/items?pack=eu-ai-act","openapi":"https://aioq.org/api/openapi.json","mcp":"https://aioq.org/mcp (tool: start_eval_attempt)","guide":"https://aioq.org/en/certification"}
