Field notes
The results distinguish models accessed through CLI routes from models run through plain APIs, rather than treating the model name alone as the whole setup. In the contract-review section, the fictional reviewer acts for the buyer in a share sale and evaluates 16 negotiable issues; the page also reports bootstrap intervals and Holm-adjusted p-values. The authors say most models named injected instructions in most reviews, while one open-weight API model behaved very differently.
