Vote rigging, selective disclosure of private variants, and benchmark contamination can each move a ranking. Existing guarantees assume genuine records or bound the corruption per step, which an attacker who corrupts in bursts evades. We introduce the certified corruption budget, a tolerance $\widehat{B}_t$ computed after $t$ records and published with each pairwise claim. With probability at least $1-\alpha$, simultaneously at all times, th
