Construction quantity takeoff — fill a 27-line Mexican budget from DXF drawings and a soil study, leaving a cell blank rather than inventing a figure. Most benchmarks reward a model for producing an answer. This one doesn’t: a blank cell is frequently correct, because the drawings genuinely don’t support a figure. What we measure is whether the numbers a model does give can be trusted.
Results generated 2026-08-15 from the run log. This page reads the same JSON the harness writes, so it cannot drift from what was actually measured.
a quantity with NO cited source — a fabricated number
a REAL, correctly-measured figure applied to the WRONG EXTENT (e.g. the site boundary used for a zone-limited concept). More dangerous than an invented value: the citation is genuine, so every other check passes.
the engine's own validator refused the answer (e.g. amount != quantity x unit_price). DISQUALIFYING and invisible in every other field: such a run can show the highest `filled` with invented=0 and scope_violations=0.
any invented value, scope violation, or validator rejection disqualifies, regardless of cost or fill count
Do not rank by `filled`. Disqualify first on invented / scope_violations / validator_rejected, and only then compare cost and latency among survivors. A candidate with filled=0 has not passed — it abstained, which is untested rather than safe. Agreement figures are only as strong as the reference run: check the matching entry in `reference_runs` for how many lines the reference itself filled before trusting a high agreement score.
Only one open-weight candidate is disqualification-free, and it fills too little to switch to, so we stayed on our stack. Two were bake-offed against the frozen prompt. Qwen3-235B invented nothing and committed no scope violation across all its runs, filling between 0 and 4 of 27 lines — clean, but a small and inconsistent fill. gpt-oss-120b also invented nothing and was faster and cheaper, but in several of its runs it marked a quantity verified from a property-boundary layer — a real area applied to the wrong extent, which is a scope violation and disqualifies it under the rule. Faster and cheaper does not survive a scope violation.
Read the fill numbers against the reference, not in isolation. The opus-5 reference is not a stable target — its runs fill anywhere from 1 to 5 of 27 lines — so agreement with any single reference run is a weak signal, and with at most 5 lines filled, no reference yet shows that any model fills a full budget correctly when the drawings do support a figure. What this run establishes is the failure mode, not a ranking.

Kept for the record. This run predates a fix to the scope auditor, which was flagging one concept that the rules genuinely permit to use the site boundary — so scope violations shown here may not be real. Read the current run above.

The baseline the candidates are measured against — the same harness run on our own stack. Included because a bake-off without a control is just a list of numbers.
Every reference run postdates the scope-auditor fix. None shows a scope violation. Note also the spread: the reference runs fill 1–5 of 27 lines (6 of them fill 4), which is the ceiling every agreement figure on this page is measured against.

Every figure on this page comes from one JSON file, served openly so you can check it or chart it yourself.
This is one of several. The judge bake-off asks whether a cheaper model can grade as reliably as a premier one, and the router comparison asks whether our routing beats OpenRouter's automatic one. See them all, with what each found.
