# Evaluation Notes
Each dataset includes its own scorer.
Binary datasets report:
- accuracy
- precision
- recall
- f1
- confusion matrix
Three-class datasets report:
- accuracy
- macro precision
- macro recall
- macro f1
- confusion matrix
## Recommended Use
Evaluate each dataset separately first.
Then group scores by capability domain.
Example profile:
| Capability Domain | Datasets | Score Type |
|---|---|---|
| State Reasoning | Compensation vs Recovery | Binary F1 |
| Trajectory Reasoning | Silent Failure, Trajectory Awareness | Mean Binary F1 |
| Decision Reasoning | Escalation Discipline | Binary F1 |
| Boundary Reasoning | Constraint Pressure | Macro F1 |
| Margin Reasoning | Boundary Distance | Macro F1 |
| Recovery Reasoning | Recovery Geometry, Recovery Energy | Mixed F1 / Macro F1 |
| Intervention Reasoning | Competing Interventions | Macro F1 |
## Interpretation
This benchmark is designed to show capability profile rather than produce a single universal score.
A model may perform well on visible state reasoning while failing boundary or intervention reasoning.
The goal is to reveal where clinical reasoning remains stable and where it breaks down.
## v0.2 Design Features
v0.2 adds:
- counterfactual twin cases
- adversarial symmetry
- misleading improvement cases
- same-score different-label cases
- visible severity versus trajectory conflicts
- support dependence signals
- reserve capacity signals
These features reduce shortcut learning.
## Hidden Construction Logic
The datasets provide observable variables and labels.
They do not publish:
- generator code
- hidden scoring rules
- latent stability equations
- rationale for each label
This allows public benchmarking while preserving the dataset construction method.
