-## Local evaluation
-- Official modchallenge evaluate (random operands, secret seed): tiers 1-8 = 1.00, highest tier 8, overall 0.804.
-- Adversarial battery (powers of two, sparse, symmetric, near-multiple, all-ones, edges): 1603/1612 (~99.4%) after on-policy DAgger.

+## Local evaluation (official open-source scorer, run locally; not the organizers' leaderboard)
+- modchallenge evaluate (random operands, public/default seed, on A100-class hardware): tiers 1-8 = 1.00, highest tier 8, overall 0.804. This is the same official-scorer result as the pre-DAgger weights; the DAgger refinement is not visible on the official scorer.
+- In-distribution structured-input battery (the families used during DAgger refinement, run locally): 1603/1612. This is in-distribution fit, NOT a held-out adversarial number; the pre-DAgger held-out baseline failed ~54% on powers of two.
+- Per-step transition exactly equals (2s+dx) mod p for all states of all primes < 64 (exhaustive, 40954/40954).
+- Randomising the weights collapses every solved tier to 0.00 (capability is in the trained parameters).
 
 ## Limitation (honest)
 This model passes the random-operand benchmark and most structured inputs, but it is not exact.
