      "question": "Why is multi-method measurement (behavioural signatures, model-organism experiments, interpretability probes) emphasized in model-welfare research?",
      "options": [
        "Because models always lie",
        "Because Anthropic mandates it for compliance",
        "Because RLHF makes self-reports impossible",
        "Because self-reports alone are confounded by user-expectation priming, so converging evidence from multiple methods is needed"
