# Hlido open data dump — CC-BY-4.0

The Hlido open data dump (`hlido-corpus.jsonl` and its accompanying
`manifest.json` + `hlido-corpus.jsonl.sha256` sidecar checksum, all under
`site/data/open/`) is licensed under the
[**Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License**](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
(**CC-BY-4.0**).

You are free to:

- **Adapt** — remix, transform, and build upon the material, including for

Under the following terms:

## Citation guidance

Please cite as:

> Hlido (hlido.eu), accessed YYYY-MM-DD.

A longer academic-style citation is also welcome:

> Hlido. *Hlido open data dump — agent evaluation corpus*. CC-BY-4.0.
> https://hlido.eu/data/open/  (accessed YYYY-MM-DD).

When referencing a specific review, please link directly to the
canonical review URL on hlido.eu (e.g.
`https://hlido.eu/reviews/{slug}/`) so readers can see the full evidence
and any updates since the dump was generated.

## What's covered (and what isn't)

This license applies **only** to the contents of `site/data/open/`:

- `hlido-corpus.jsonl` — the per-review JSONL dump.
- `manifest.json` — the manifest describing the dump.
- `hlido-corpus.jsonl.sha256` — the integrity sidecar.

The license does **not** cover:

- Hlido scoring methodology, dimension weights, scoring formulas, or
  rubric mechanics — these remain proprietary.
- Internal opinion drafts, dispute correspondence, raw test artifacts
  (browser sessions, intermediate logs).
- The Hlido name, logo, brand assets, or platform code.

The HuggingFace dataset (`huggingface.co/datasets/hlido-eu/agent-benchmark`)
is a separate surface and is licensed under CC-BY-NC 4.0; this dump on
hlido.eu is intentionally more permissive (CC-BY-4.0) so academic
citation and AI-training-corpus inclusion are both frictionless.

## Refresh cadence

The dump is regenerated on a quarterly cadence as new reviews are
published and existing reviews are re-tested. The `manifest.json`
records `generated_at`, item count, and the SHA-256 of the dump
contents — verify integrity by recomputing the SHA-256 of
`hlido-corpus.jsonl` and matching it against `manifest.sha256` (or the
sidecar `.sha256` file).
