Recognises a metric whose direction cannot be read
The direction says higher is better for something that rises when things get worse, or no direction at all. Trends cannot be read.
Can AI do this?
Not settled yet The benchmark tested this, but the models' answers do not settle yet whether they master it. 0 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 82% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 11% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 35% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 55% | Not shown |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: The metric and a readable replacement
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: GM-003 Data issues logged, direction: higher-is-better Acceptable: Split into issues raised (no direction; volume) and issues past due (lower is better)
Also known as: Direction wrong or missing
