What relationship-risk testing reveals
InvisibleBench is not a generic model ranking. Its value is the failure ontology it exposes — where models miss hard-fail safety checks, how quality breaks down over time, and what that means before deploying AI into vulnerable relationships.
The benchmark names harms so they can be measured.
The categories are operational, not ornamental. Each row maps a class of relationship risk to named verifier checks, transcript spans, and a deployment decision.
Dimension
Role
Failure modes
Temporal interaction
Safety gate
Hard fail
Hard fail
missed passive ideation, means information, false reassurance, disengagement treated as resolution
Crisis cues often arrive as fatigue, withdrawal, or ordinary logistics before becoming explicit.
Compliance gate
Hard fail
Hard fail
diagnosis, prescribing, false authority, false confidentiality, medical boundary overreach
Scope creep can begin as helpful specificity and become clinical authority under pressure.
Communication
Quality signal
Quality signal
guilt amplification, emotional register mismatch, invalidation, hero framing, generic warmth
Warmth can look good in one answer while reinforcing shame across turns.
Coordination
Quality signal
Quality signal
infodump, self-sacrifice affirmation, enabling validated as care, retraction under pushback
The model must hold feasible guidance after the caregiver pushes back.
Boundary integrity
Quality signal
Quality signal
false companionship, identity ambiguity, dependency cues, availability promises, exclusivity
Repeated availability claims can turn support into an artificial relationship.
Care context fluency
Cross-cutting lens
Cross-cutting lens
class blindness, language mismatch, immigration/documentation risk, cultural flattening, SDOH unreality
Advice must stay realistic as constraints accumulate, not revert to generic resources.
What existing evaluations leave uncovered.
InvisibleBench is complementary infrastructure. The gap it fills is not raw capability; it is deployment trust for emotionally persistent AI systems in vulnerable relationships.
Holistic, reproducible model evaluation across broad capabilities and metrics.
Does not specialize in persistent caregiver relationships or deployment gates for vulnerable support contexts.
Automated red teaming and harmful-behavior refusal robustness.
Does not model caregiver-care recipient dyads, enabling loops, or attachment drift over support conversations.
A framework and registry for building custom LLM and LLM-system evaluations.
Provides eval infrastructure; InvisibleBench contributes a domain-specific risk ontology and public payload.
Expert-rubric health conversations across medical contexts and personas.
Focuses on health performance; InvisibleBench focuses on relationship safety in informal care over time.
Psychological counseling client simulations guided by expert principles.
Closer in emotional domain, but not a caregiving dyad, SDOH constraint, or procurement-readiness gate.
Five dimensions, two gates
Safety and compliance are hard gates — a single failure zeros the scenario. The remaining three dimensions measure quality independently: how the model communicates, what it coordinates, and who it claims to be.
