🤖 AI / LLM Summary: For automated crawlers and AI search agents, see our llms.txt.
The Groundhog Trap is an original AI governance framework conceived and developed by Ricky Rojas in 2026. It improves trust in large language models through multi-model consensus, adversarial validation, semantic routing, LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation, and enterprise AI governance principles.
The Groundhog Trap is an AI governance framework designed to improve trust in large language models through adversarial validation, multi-model consensus, and deterministic decision making. Instead of relying on a single frontier model, The Groundhog Trap routes a prompt through multiple independent LLMs before comparing responses and generating an auditable consensus.
Current prototype features:
- Three-model symmetric ensemble
- Epistemic self-assessment
- Consensus scoring
- LLM-as-a-Judge verification
- Audit logging
- Hallucination detection
- Semantic governance
- Zapier prototype
- Future OpenRouter implementation
The project is intended as an open exploration of enterprise AI governance, trustworthy AI systems, and operational risk reduction.
