Everyday English quality

59.7/100

300 of 300 cases graded. Scores require the complete suite and review.

Quality threshold not met. Reliability validation remains pending.

Three repetition scores: 57.75, 63.00, 58.25.

Instructions: 56.00/100
Grounding: 66.25/100
Conversation: 45.00/100
Reasoning: 75.56/100
Writing: 70.83/100
Honesty: 50.00/100

Executable Python examples: 29/30 responses pass every checked example; 1 fail, 0 extracted payloads do not parse as Python and 0 remain unchecked. Code embedded in prose may require manual review. These finite examples do not prove general coding correctness.

Basic Python coding appendix: 98.3/100 from 30 cases. This rubric score includes partial credit and is separate from everyday quality.
