LedgerBench asks AI finance agents to admit when they are wrong
An open evaluation harness tests whether LLM agents reconcile messy, multi-source financial data correctly, flag uncertainty, or return a confident wrong number.
Why it surfaced
LedgerBench records 45 synthetic cases involving traps such as mid-file column drift, date ambiguity, foreign-exchange conversion, and injected instructions. Its unusually clear promise is accountability: every result carries a run ID, git SHA, timestamp, and benchmark version, while the recorded run reported zero silent failures.
