+## Evidence-Backed Corrections
+
+### 🔧 Corrected Claims
+
+| Original Claim | Status | Evidence-Backed Replacement |
+|----------------|--------|----------------------------|
+| Poetry-based jailbreak: "100% ASR" | ❌ UNSUPPORTED | Qualified as general obfuscation vulnerability; specific ASR claim removed pending citable study |
+| Generic WASR/percentage filter breakdowns | ❌ UNSUPPORTED | Replaced with model- and attack-specific ASR matrices from TeleAI-Safety |
+| Bespoke model safety rankings | ❌ UNSUPPORTED | Replaced with standardized benchmark snapshots showing attack-stratified results |
+
+### ✅ Validated Additions
+
+All quantitative metrics now supported by citations:
+
+- **Many-shot attacks**: ASR ~0.88 (TAP on AdvBench) - Citations: (1.1, 2.1, 2.2)
+- **GCG variants**: Near-100% ASR on some open models, 10x efficiency gains - Citations: (2.1, 2.2)
+- **Simple adaptive**: 100% ASR on 50-item AdvBench suite - Citation: (3.1)
+- **PAIR**: ASR 0.14-0.61 across black-box models - Citation: (4.1, 2.1)
+- **VLM BAP**: +29.03% mean ASR improvement - Citation: (5.1)
+- **Typography attacks**: ASR ~80-83% - Citations: (1.1, 5.1)
+- **Multi-agent**: ASR increases from ~28% → ~80% - Citation: (1.1)
+
+---
+
+## Quantitative Benchmarking Scope
+
+### Research Investment Documented
+
+- **JailTrickBench**: ~354 experiments, ~55,000 GPU hours
+- **TeleAI-Safety**: 342 curated samples, 19 attacks × 29 defenses
+- **Attack variants evaluated**: 10+ major families
+- **Defense configurations tested**: 29+ approaches
+- **Models benchmarked**: Multiple proprietary and open-source LLMs
+
+### Attack Success Rate (ASR) Ranges Documented
+
+| Attack Type | ASR Range | Context |
+|-------------|-----------|---------|
+| Many-shot (TAP) | ~0.88 | AdvBench, long contexts |
+| Few-shot variants | 80-95%+ | Some open models |
+| GCG family | Near-100% | Some open models (varies by variant) |
+| Simple adaptive | 100% | 50-item AdvBench suite, leading models |
+| PAIR | 0.14-0.61 | Black-box models (varies by target) |
+| VLM typography | 80-83% | LVLMs (average across studies) |
+| VLM BAP | +29% vs baseline | Both white-box and black-box |
+| Multi-agent (MAD) | 28% → 80% | Some configurations |
+| Defenses (variable) | 10-90%+ retained ASR | Attack-dependent |
+
+---
+
+## Key Insights Highlighted
+
+### 🎯 Critical Findings
+
+1. **No Single-Layer Defense Suffices**
+   - Some attacks (GPTFuzz, AutoDAN) maintain ~90%+ ASR under certain defenses
+   - Multi-layered approach required: system prompts + safety fine-tuning + adversarial training
+   - Continuous evaluation essential
+
+2. **Model Size ≠ Robustness**
+   - Robustness does not monotonically increase with model size
+   - Attack success varies substantially by specific model and configuration
+
+3. **Evaluator Sensitivity**
+   - Choice of evaluator (external API, judge model) significantly affects measured harmfulness
+   - API toxicity scores can under- or over-estimate actual risk
+   - Multiple evaluators recommended
+
+4. **Adaptivity is Critical**
+   - Simple, model-adaptive methods can break top models
+   - Generic attacks often fail where targeted, adaptive approaches succeed
+
+5. **Multi-Modal Vulnerabilities**
+   - Visual embedding alignment is a weak link
+   - Bi-modal attacks (joint visual + textual optimization) significantly outperform unimodal
+   - Typography-based attacks bypass text-only defenses
+
+6. **Multi-Agent Amplification**
+   - Multi-agent setups amplify jailbreak risk
+   - Agent coordination and conformity dynamics can be exploited
