What Sherlock AI does
It is one of the few vendors to publish a precision number rather than only recall, and to integrate with the pull-request flow.
Where it is strong
- Published precision.
- PR-native workflow.
- Backed by a contest platform with human researchers.
Limits and caveats
- Solidity only.
- Vendor-run benchmark.
- Pricing not public.
When to choose it
Choose for EVM protocols that want AI in the PR loop with a path to Sherlock's human contests.
