Pre-Audit Filtering

Raw Data

What is Pre-Audit?

AI tools scan codebases before human auditors compete. Findings are marked out-of-scope, filtering out AI-detectable issues so humans focus on novel bugs. This is different from AI vs Human competition.

Prize estimates use Code4rena's formula: High=10 shares, Medium=3 shares, with 0.85^(n-1)/n decay for duplicates.
