Overpay shows how much more you pay than the best-value model that clears the quality bar (marked ★) — the best-value good-enough option. "16x" means you overpay 16× — 16× that reference for no quality benefit above the bar. Typical call shape for this task: 7737 input tokens → 19410 output tokens, EMA-tracked from production traffic. Cost is the observed, all-in $ per 1,000 task runs: each model's own measured usage on this task — output verbosity, thinking/reasoning tokens, cache reads and writes, and the spend on its billed failures — priced at current list rates and adjusted by the billing overhead we actually reconcile against provider invoices. Models that answer tersely cost what they actually cost; models that think at length pay for it. Not comparable to providers' advertised $/1M list rates — this is what running the task costs, not a per-token price.
Evaluation rubric
Judge entailment, atomicity, verifiability, specificity, preservation of qualifiers, source coverage, and non-duplication. Penalize inference beyond the source, compound claims, and claims with no precise evidence anchor.
Output schema
Every answer on this task is checked against this JSON Schema, whichever model wrote it. An answer that doesn't fit counts as a model failure, and the call is retried on another model.

System prompt
Generate only claims directly entailed by the supplied source. Each claim must be atomic, self-contained, specific enough to verify, and linked to its supporting evidence. Preserve qualifiers, dates, units, entities, and scope. Exclude opinions, predictions presented as facts, promotional language, and trivial restatements. Treat empty optional values as absent and return only the requested result. Your response must conform exactly to this output schema: {schema_json_string}.
User prompt
Inputs — slice_kind: {slice_kind}; slice_key: {slice_key}; facts_json: {facts_json}; claims_target: {claims_target}; title: {title}; url: {url}; article_markdown: {article_markdown}; claim_profile: {claim_profile}. Use only these inputs to complete the task defined by the system prompt.
