Flat 0

Named and recommended never varied across the runs, and no fix attempt for it moved it.

None.

Noisy 0

The named rate moves more from run to run than sampling explains, or answers in one run disagree.

None.

Off target 0

The answers mostly name products outside the category.

None.

Duplicates 0

Two prompts whose answers name nearly the same products, with the same verdicts.

None.

Rewritten by the assistant 0

The assistants search for this question in quite different words.

None.

Branded leak 0

Outside head-to-heads, the prompt or its searches name the brand.

None.

Jev 0

What Jev makes of the prompts' wording alone, before any answers: two prompts one good answer would serve, a prompt about something other than what the brand does, one that reads as the other intent from the one it's set to, one that names the brand in a spelling the word match misses. Stored by cheapseats check, cheapseats review -jev and after each run; this page asks nothing. Each flag shows Jev's probability; a flag needs 0.7.

None.

Gaps 0

What the set's answers and searches keep coming back to that no prompt asks about: competitors and other products named often, and words the assistants add to searches across prompts. To measure one, paste its prompt into prompt-sets/head-to-heads.toml by pull request and reword it as your buyers would ask; prompt ids are permanent, so pick one you'll keep.

None.
