How it is scored.

IND module 3 drafting

Draft the chemistry, manufacturing and controls sections of an IND from a public regulator's assessment report. A judge panel rates the extracted facts for faithfulness and coverage, 0–10; score = that rating × 10.

TLF for CSRs

From raw CRF data and specs, write and run the SDTM → ADaM → TLF pipeline for the CDISC pilot study in one session. Score = (share of output cells matching the published reference × 100 + reviewer panel × 10) / 2.

Literature screening

Full-text eligibility decisions on 47 papers from a Cochrane review, scored against the human reviewers. Score = percent of decisions correct.

Judges

Judged scores use models from three labs, never the model under test alone. IND fabrication and omission calls count only when three of four finders agree; TLF cell matches are exact comparisons to the reference; screening decisions are compared to the Cochrane reviewers' own.

Harness

Claude-family models ran under Claude Code, GPT-family models under Codex, Gemini and open-weight models under OpenCode. A score belongs to a model together with its harness and task skill.

Systematic literature review

Three TrialPanorama tasks on their full published test splits: study search (a PubMed query per review, scored as Recall@500), study screening (include/exclude for 979 candidate studies, scored as F1) and evidence summarization (1,000 multiple-choice questions, scored as accuracy). Score = the mean of the three, each on a 0–100 scale.

Cost

List price at run time: input, output and reasoning tokens, cache reads at the provider's cached rate, averaged over the four tasks. The SLR figure is the average of its three runs; running all three costs about three times that. Prices are verified on the provider's pricing page before a row is posted.
