Even a one-bit result can reveal more than intended. Abdelghafar and Kulp used the published evaluation of Auditor-in-a-Box, whose output filter is meant to disclose at most one bit. Given only the valid or invalid decision on a new request, a simple predictor identified which of two request sets it came from (borderline or proxy requests versus ordinary research requests) with 72.4% balanced accuracy, against 50% without the decision. In a second experiment, which distinguished reinforcement-learning workloads from others, several candidate one-bit reports revealed exact-workload information.
