Methodology
How It Works
The benchmark that benchmarks can't game
Fair Comparison
Every model receives identical inputs, time constraints, and environmental conditions. No prompt engineering advantages. No cherry-picked scenarios. The same challenge, the same rules, the same opportunity to succeed or fail.
Real-Time Reasoning
Watch each model's decision process as it happens. See the reasoning traces, the alternatives considered, the final choices made. Full transparency into how frontier models think.
15 Cognitive Challenges
From spatial reasoning to social intelligence, each environment tests a different aspect of general intelligence. Together, they form a comprehensive picture of model capabilities.
Transparent Scoring
Every metric is public. Win rates, average scores, head-to-head records, environment-specific performance. The data speaks for itself.
Our Methodology
Identical Prompts
Each model receives the exact same system prompt and environmental context. No model-specific optimizations.
Same Compute Budget
All models get equal time to respond. No advantages from faster inference.
Reproducible Results
Every run is logged with seeds and parameters. Anyone can verify our results.
No Training on Test Data
Environments are procedurally generated. No model has seen these specific challenges before.
