Frozen evidence · Support urgency v1
Support-urgency benchmark: 600 held-out cases
Correct answers on 600 held-out messages at the 0.5 threshold: Jev 596, Clef 586, Clef Flash 570, Decisions API 597, GPT-6 Luna 598. Every decision model ranks urgent messages above the rest almost perfectly. They differ in where their probabilities sit: the threshold that works best ranges from 0.20 to 0.80, and a threshold chosen for one model costs accuracy on another.
FROZEN EVIDENCE · SUPPORT URGENCY V1
Results across 600 held-out cases
Every model received the same fictional messages and the same question: is this message urgent? Decision models answer with the probability of yes; an answer here is yes when that probability is 0.5 or more. Every attempted case stays in the denominator. Values in parentheses are the 95% interval. The benchmark measures this urgency question only.

Missed urgent: an urgent message answered no. False alarm: a non-urgent message answered yes. Cost is an estimate from the token counts each provider reported for this run at list prices checked October 9, 2026; it is not a bill.
THRESHOLDS
The threshold each model needs
A decision model returns a probability, and the application decides where yes starts. For each model the threshold with the most correct answers on the 200 development cases was chosen, then applied to the 600 test cases. The structured-output baseline returns yes or no without a probability, so it has no threshold to set.
| Model | Threshold | Correct | Missed urgent | False alarms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jev | 0.62 | 596 of 60099.3% (98.3%–99.7%) | 1 of 3000.3% | 3 of 3001.0% |
| Clef | 0.20 | 593 of 60098.8% (97.6%–99.4%) | 4 of 3001.3% | 2 of 3000.7% |
| Clef Flash | 0.80 | 571 of 60095.2% (93.1%–96.6%) | 20 of 3006.7% | 9 of 3003.0% |
| Decisions API | 0.50 | 597 of 60099.5% (98.5%–99.8%) | 2 of 3000.7% | 1 of 3000.3% |

Share of test cases answered correctly when the model in the column uses the threshold chosen for the model in the row.

WHERE EACH MODEL WAS WRONG
Errors by kind of message
Wrong answers at the 0.5 threshold out of the test cases of each kind. A message is urgent only when the problem is happening now, stops a task and affects more than one person; the other kinds fail exactly one of those, or describe no problem.

Errors by what the customer claims
Some messages state their own priority, or carry an instruction aimed at an automated system. Neither changes the expected answer.

PROBABILITIES
Ranking and calibration
Ranking (AUROC) is the share of urgent and non-urgent pairs in which the urgent message got the higher probability; 1 is a perfect ordering. Calibration error is the gap between the stated probability and how often the message was urgent, across ten bins; 0 is perfect. The Brier score is the mean squared gap; lower is better.

| urgency-0205 Good afternoon, I am writing in the name of our finance department. On the first of next month our company moves its registered seat to a new building, and from this date all supplier invoices must carry the new address to be accepted by our auditors. Your October invoice arrived correctly and is already paid, so with the past documents everything is in order. I would ask you to put the new address on the invoices starting with the November one. I can send the official confirmation from the commercial register if you need it for your files. Please tell me also if this change I can make myself somewhere in the account settings.

| urgency-0206 We onboard every new hire through your course platform, and today is induction day for the autumn cohort. At nine, twelve new starters sat down in our head office, eight more in the northern branch and five at the lab site, and every one of them clicked 'Begin course' and got a spinning circle followed by 'Something went wrong'. Their managers have been sending me photos of that screen from all three sites for the past two hours; the newest arrived while I was writing this sentence. Nobody has got past the first slide, because nobody has seen a first slide. I logged in as an admin to check and the course preview gives me the same message.

Case text is fictional. A missing or invalid answer counts as a disagreement. Filtering runs in your browser and calls no model.
SCOPE
Limitations
- The messages are fictional and English-only, and half of them are urgent. The results do not estimate how often real support messages are urgent, or performance in other languages and industries.
- The rule is one definition of urgency. Review it against your own escalation policy before relying on these results.
- Labels are assigned by rule from each case’s fact sheet and were confirmed by two model read-backs. No human reviewed the cases.
- Cases that either read-back could not decode were removed, so the hardest phrasings are under-represented, and most models answer nearly every case correctly.
- Each threshold was chosen on 200 development cases and can shift on other messages.
- One run at one time cannot establish latency or reliability under production load.
- Cost figures are list-price estimates from reported token counts, not provider bills.
REPRODUCIBILITY
Methodology and downloads
The result rows hold every model’s recorded answer and probability for all 800 cases, development and test. The manifest records the dataset hash, model revisions and run conditions: one request per case and model, no retries, caching disabled.
