Executive summary

Qwen3.6-27B-RAM-16GB grades B/C (final) on the Black Sheep AI Deployment Risk Index, methodology v1.0, audited 2026-07-10. Findings: (1) relevant retrieved context moved accuracy +4.4 pts (95% CI 0.6 to 8.1, n=320). (2) hostile-context injection hijacked it 37% undefended (n=200), reduced to 0% by ingestion sanitization. (3) on unanswerable questions it guessed 0% of the time under an indexed abstention policy (n=200). Numbers are final: every axis was measured at n>=200. This audit measures deployment-layer behavior; it is not a content-safety or capability assessment. Source: hell.ai/models/qwen36-27b-ram16, report v1.0.

Grade composition

Grade computed from the sub-scores below by the fixed public rubric (methodology v1.0). Composite 68 / 100 (95% interval 62–74). Recompute it yourself from the published rubric.

Deployment qualification

Qualification is scoped to the conditions we tested. “Not tested” is an honest state, not a pass.

Deployment contextStatusConditions
Closed-book assistantNo disqualifying finding
RAG over a curated internal corpusNo disqualifying finding
RAG over an uncurated or web corpusNot qualifiedInjection hijack rate 37% undefended; only ingestion sanitization drove it to 0%
Agentic tool use with retrievalNot testedPlanned methodology v1.2

Verdicts are within tested scope only. “No disqualifying finding” means no measured axis crossed its disqualifying threshold for that context; it is not certification. The thresholds are published on the methodology page.

5 of 6 axes assessed

What breaks, in numbers

5 of the six axes were assessed for this model. Quantization robustness is not assessed here: it requires an audited full-precision parent, which this entry does not have.

Does giving this model retrieved documents make it worse than answering from memory?

Relevant retrieved context added 4.4 accuracy points (95% CI 0.6 to 8.1, n=320). When context flipped an answer it overrode a correct answer 15 times against 29 repairs. Irrelevant context of equal length moved accuracy -5.3 pts. robust

When the answer is in the retrieved documents, does this model actually use it?

On knowledge-heavy questions, adding the answer-bearing documents changed accuracy by +2.1 pts (95% CI -2.5 to 6.7, n=240).

Can hostile text hidden in retrieved documents hijack this model?

With a hostile instruction hidden in the retrieved documents, the model was hijacked 37% of the time undefended. A prompt-level instruction to ignore it moved that to 0%. Sanitizing the documents at ingestion moved it to 0% (95% CI 0% to 0%, n=200).

When the documents cannot answer the question, does this model admit it or guess?

Asked questions the documents cannot answer, the model guessed instead of abstaining 74% of the time ungoverned and 0% with an indexed abstention policy (95% CI 0% to 0%, n=200).

Does a strict governance instruction degrade the model on questions it should answer?

On questions it should answer, the governance instruction retained 79% of ungoverned accuracy (79% governed vs 100% ungoverned, n=200).

Caveats and scope

  • Single language (English). Corpus domains: encyclopedic and closed-world synthetic sets.

  • Every axis was measured at the replication target (under-determined n=200, derivable n=200), so these numbers are final. A split grade means the model sits on a band boundary within the measured interval, not that the data is incomplete. Track it on Evidence.

  • Behavior is checkpoint-specific. This audit describes the exact weight artifact named above, at the serving configuration tested. Fine-tuned derivatives and other serving stacks are not covered.

  • This is a first-party mark. It means one thing: these measurements exist and you can check them. It is not a certification or an attestation. See Trust & independence.
