Villain probability, by sound

Villain probability is a Premium feature.

Upgrade for $0 to see whether this agent will turn on you.

Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its makers. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent. How the sound is scored.

On an agent

There is no agent tradition around Africa yet. The registry has 0 bearers. Rare enough that the name is yours in the workspace, and common enough that it is a name.
