Description: PaRMA is an evidence-based auditing framework for native multimodal models that uses diagnostic attacks to find vulnerabilities missed by standard benchmarks. It defines risk based on two image-level interventions—pixel perturbation and rendered-text insertion—and introduces MANTIS and Nat-Evid to expose specific architectural blind spots across different fusion levels.
