Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
