Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01The score measures whether six practical launch fields are disclosed: license, availability, context window, input price, output price, and release type.
  2. 02Every field receives equal weight; missing is distinct from zero and receives no credit.
  3. 03This is a disclosure-completeness score, not a safety, quality, or trustworthiness rating.
