Reproducible comparison rubric

Freeze one task, its inputs, acceptance criteria, account state, model settings, and evaluator before the first run. Use the same number of trials for both products.

  1. Record whether the output meets the acceptance criteria.
  2. Count reviewer corrections and recovery attempts.
  3. Record elapsed time to an accepted output.
  4. Record observed usage and billed cost from the test account.
  5. Publish raw results, settings, evaluator identity, and limitations.

Declare a winner only when the run and a predeclared decision rule are published. A tie or a split decision by task is valid.
