STONIC: A Layered Measurement Contract for LLM Value Profiling
STONIC finds continuity in model behavior, but not a single value profile that survives every measurement interface.
The paper tests 35 fixed model configurations across 5,144 situations from four banks. Ratings and conflict choices transfer more cleanly than spontaneous text, and all eligible configurations prefer their own earlier answers. Position effects still move choice rates in every eligible case. The authors conclude that value profiling depends on the interface and scorer, not just an underlying stable identity.
