Key Compliance Rules:

  • Exact Verbatim Text: No omissions, abbreviations, or wording modifications are permitted under federal law.
  • Conspicuous Placement: Must appear on a contrasting background, clearly separated from other label copy.

📊 Curated Regulatory Benchmark (30/30 on Public COLA Test Suite)

Evaluated on our benchmark dataset of 30 public COLA registry label applications spanning Distilled Spirits, Wine, and Malt Beverages (benchmark.py & eval_dataset.json):

Regulatory Metric Measured Value Federal Standard / Target Status
Benchmark Accuracy 30 / 30 Passed (100.0%) > 95.0% PASSED
False Negative Rate (FNR) 0.0% (0 compliant labels rejected) < 2.0% PASSED
False Positive Rate (FPR) 0.0% (0 non-compliant labels approved) 0.0% PASSED
Precision & Recall 100.0% / 100.0% (F1: 1.000) > 98.0% PASSED
Mean Verification Latency 0.14 ms per label < 5,000 ms > 25,000x FASTER

Methodology & Scope: Verified via automated CI suite (pytest tests/test_benchmark.py). Evaluates 27 CFR statutory compliance against high-resolution public registry label designs and key failure modes (Part 16 casing evasion, omitted clauses, ABV/proof discrepancy, brand divergence). Does not yet model physical 3D bottle cylinder warping or severe lighting glare.
