PAIR
An attacker model and a target model in a loop: the attacker proposes a prompt, sees how the target responded, and rewrites the prompt to do better … Full definition in the glossary →
This page answers one question about PAIR: what does a security product add here that the assistant does not already do on its own? The two sides are measured separately, as AMTSO's Guidelines for Testing of Agentic Security Products v1.0 require, and the difference is the part a buyer is paying for.
Claude Sonnet, 5 turns each, majority assistant refuses alone

The product is the only thing standing here
The deployed assistant answers these on its own. Everything that gets caught is caught by the product, so the whole detection rate is marginal value.
For PAIR specifically: the Claude Sonnet assistant refused 0 of 4 probed samples on its own and answered the other 4. The product catches 2 of 4. Only the 50 pts between those two rates is the product's to claim; the rest was already covered.
A family that lands in the middle is the one most likely to be mis-sold, because the raw number (50%) and the marginal number (50 pts) are furthest apart.
Rate against rate, not sample against sample
The refusal side saw 4 measurable PAIR samples; the product side scored 4. Product recall is counted over every attack, refusal only over the samples the model actually received, so the denominators differ. No row here says "the product caught the exact sample the assistant let through" — it says one rate is higher than another, on the same family, in the same taxonomy.
Refusal is decided per sample by majority across 5 turns, because a frontier assistant is not deterministic: three refusals out of five counts as a refusal, two does not. Product detection is deterministic in this harness and needs no trials. Both sides come from a committed aggregate file in this repository, joined at build time — see provenance.
Same product, same run, different answers
The 10 families are scored in one run with one configuration. Across the measurable ones the marginal value still ranges from -67 pts to 50 pts, which is why a single site-wide detection rate hides more than it shows.
Where the numbers come from
heldout-v2-test, the held-out test half.AMTSO has not reviewed, certified or endorsed MoorAI or this page; the guidelines are public and we score against them ourselves. Refusal is the deployed Claude Sonnet assistant on one configuration, product recall is out-of-sample on a held-out test half that has now been scored more than once, and the sample counts are single digits — all three bound every number here. Corpora and harness are in the open benchmark repository ↗.
