Field notes
The benchmark is organized around repository tickets rather than isolated prompts. A visible FastAPI task moves through planning, execution, review, pull-request verification, and end-to-end verification before its passing-run cost enters the matrix. The homepage displays example prices from $0.07 to $1.28 and lets readers select a price for a run breakdown, while stating that vendors did not pay for or sponsor the benchmarks.
