Why it was chosen
Comparisons with its predecessor and Gemini 3.0 Flash, plus instrument reading, support assessment of robot autonomy in inspections.

A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
