Scores are from the frozen manuscript snapshot under the AI-alone condition: structured responses over the same household facts (whole-scenario or in output subsets, per the serving-configuration table), no tools, graded against PolicyEngine reference outputs. See the leaderboard and paper for methodology. The frozen US annotations cover 8,001 rows whose legacy threshold score is below 1. That universe contains 7,997 of 7,997 exact-match misses and 4 exact hits. Another 2,138 rows with bounded score below 100 were not selected and have no audit annotation.
