Why it was chosen
Changing only the harness moved task completion from 30% to 81%, showing how much harness choice shapes an agent's real-world performance.

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.
