Auditing Winner Claims in Finite-Budget Optimization Benchmarks: Reproducibility Code and Data

This record contains the code, data, and dated audit records supporting the manuscript “Auditing Winner Claims in Finite-Budget Optimization Benchmarks: A Modular Reporting Framework”. The materials reproduce three evidence layers: a 660-study controlled confirmatory matrix for declaration, abstention, and prospective acquisition; a 210-table OR-Library flow-shop audit with disjoint observation and reference streams; and a held-out-seed CEC2022 computational-budget stress test.`ORP_code.zip` contains the executable audit and figure scripts. `ORP_data.zip` contains the controlled, flow-shop, and CEC inputs and outputs, machine-readable decision tables, uncertainty and sensitivity analyses, and manuscript figures. `README.md` gives the environment, commands, expected headline results, and file layout. `METHOD_FREEZE_CONFIRMATORY.md` records the development–freeze–confirmation chronology.Code is licensed under the MIT License.
