Agent-native workflow
Test whether the task can run in the existing agent context, disclose sources per consequential field, preserve uncertainty, and require approval before external action. Record runtime, provider, and engineering costs separately.
Seat-based platform
Test the same brief in the vendor workspace. Record onboarding, filter expression, source disclosure, export controls, plan limits, security documentation, and the effort needed to reproduce a result outside the interface.
Browser automation
Test stability when interfaces, sessions, and page structures change. Record credential scope, retry behavior, logging, maintenance time, platform restrictions, and whether a reviewer can reconstruct why each record was selected.
Unknown does not mean inferior. It means public evidence did not support a definite claim on the checked date. Request current first-party documentation before assigning a score.
