Field notes

The project frames decisions as a closed answer space: candidates, context, and a question produce candidate scores rather than generated prose. Its release includes a Python interface, downloadable result data, and links to Factorio audit demos. The evidence section separates task results and notes that the 23.5 ms latency figure comes from ten warm local H100 measurements, excluding model loading and network transport. The page also exposes a notably weak session-execution failure result instead of presenting only favorable numbers.
