Explains IBCS notation
Units and magnitudes on every chart, chart type by comparison, scenario notation: actual solid, plan outlined, forecast hatched, previous year grey (IBCS Standards 1.2).
Can AI do this?
AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 4 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 91% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 91% | Mastered |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 93% | Mastered |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 92% | Mastered |
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: Units and magnitudes on every chart, chart type by comparison, scenario notation: actual solid, plan outlined, forecast hatched, previous year grey (IBCS Standards 1.2).
How it is assessed: Answers a written question on the IBCS notation correctly
