Recognises an evaluation criterion with no requirement
A criterion nobody needs; usually a proxy for preference.
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 | 72% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 49% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 73% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 74% | 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 defect named on the criterion no requirement asks for, and its fix or the question for its owner
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: EC-006 Vendor market share, requirement: null Acceptable: Traced to a requirement (e.g. vendor viability for a 10-year platform) or removed
Also known as: Criterion with no requirement
