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.
