The business caseThe problem this solves

Screening an item against a schedule of exemptions is not one yes-or-no. A schedule carries several exemptions, each with numbered conditions, and an item meets some of them. The reviewer's answer has four parts and the interesting one is the third: which exemptions qualify, which numbered condition decided each verdict, which exemptions cannot be decided AT ALL because the dossier is silent on a condition they turn on, and -- when more than one qualifies -- which is cheapest to hold. A screen with only two verdicts has to lie about the third class. It will pick the same lie every time: on this corpus that is 62 of 480 rows written off as failures. Nothing is replaced. It replaces the FIRST PASS of reading a dossier against a schedule -- the part where somebody works eight exemptions one at a time and writes down which condition ended each. It does not file, does not claim, does not decide, and produces no regulatory advice: the schedule, the registry, the substances and the lists in this kit are all invented and restate nothing.

The inputThe actual item dossiers, one screening record each

The corpus is 60 item dossiers, one screening record each, 0.07 MB (csv_row 15 · dossier_memo 15 · registry_form 15 · supplier_packet 15). There is no public corpus of exemption dossiers, and the reason is more than 'nobody collected one'. An exemption dossier is a filing by a party asking for relief: it names them, states what they hold and in what quantity, and exists to persuade a regulator. Where such filings are published at all they are published redacted, in the jurisdiction's own format, against that jurisdiction's own schedule -- and the schedule is the thing that would have to be reproduced to grade anything. That would matter less if the PROSE were what is being measured. It is not. This key needs three facts that cannot be recovered from a document by reading it. (1) WHICH CONDITION IS DECISIVE -- the key does not say EX-03 fails, it says EX-03 fails on EX-03.c1, which needs an agreed schedule, an agreed precedence and an agreed tie-break, three decisions no external corpus carries. (2) WHICH DOSSIERS ARE DELIBERATELY SILENT -- 62 of 480 rows stand on a fact being stated NOWHERE, and proving a real document is silent about something is proving a negative over a document you did not write; here it is a fact of construction, 51 particulars withheld at generation time and every one re-checked by searching the rendered text for it. (3) WHICH EXEMPTION IS CHEAPEST TO HOLD -- the claim rule ranks by BURDEN, a property of the schedule rather than of the item. ⚠︎ AND THE GENERATOR COSTS THE MEASUREMENT MORE THAN IT COSTS THE KEY. Every narrative sentence comes from one table of exactly two phrasings per field. A regex reader built from those stems was written and run against this corpus THIS TURN and recovers 43 of 44 prose-only facts, taking the free floor to 480/480 rows and 60/60 dossiers -- past the paid arm. Separately, 37 of those 44 facts are physical_form, WHICH NO CONDITION IN THE SCHEDULE TESTS; only 7 decide anything. And the intake record is unrealistically clean -- every declared particular is already a typed field with a legal value, so the floor is handed a perfect reading and only has to apply the rulebook. Since the floor is the column this kit exists to beat, an unrealistically strong floor is the conservative error to make.

NARRATIVE
  No further narrative.

Signed for the consignor. This form is the consignor's own declaration.

The outcomeWhat a good result looks like

One screening record per dossier: 8 verdicts, the condition that settled each, the exemption to claim and the cheaper exemptions a single missing fact is standing in front of. Measured on r001: 479 of 480 verdicts (99.8%), 56 of 60 dossiers right on all four graded fields (93.3%), 60 of 60 claims, and silence read as satisfaction ZERO times.

Where it fitsWhat did work

Every line below is a measured result from this kit's own runs, with the figure that supports it. The headline above is not softened by any of them.

• A screening population whose particulars already arrive as structured intake data — a register or a form-capture system that records each declared field with its value, and OMITS a field the filer did not declare — the free rules floor in NOT-STATED mode, and no model at all
  It scores 471 of 480 verdicts, 53 of 60 dossiers, 62 of 62 silences, 26 of 26 non-empty better-if-resolved sets and 438 of 442 citations, for $0.00 in 0.08 s over the whole corpus — and it BEATS the paid arm on three of those and ties it on two more (claiming nothing when nothing qualifies, 33/33; two-or-more-qualifying, 9/9). Every piece of arithmetic in the job is already free, because no arm does it: they all hand their reading to the same src/screen.py.
• An intake form that does not capture everything the schedule tests, so a decisive particular sometimes appears only in a covering memo, a remarks block or an annex — the model, published RAW
  This is the one thing the money buys and it is worth naming exactly: 7 of 7 on prose_only_fact where BOTH free floors score 0 of 7. Paired row by row against the strong floor the model wins 9 and loses 1 (p = 0.0215) and every one of the 9 is that case. ⚠︎ AND PUBLISH RAW, NOT RECHECKED. The pure-code station is a net loss here — it turns three correct QUALIFIES into INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION by re-deriving from a reading whose prose-only field came back null.

And where nothing here is good enough:

• A corpus whose narratives are templated, generated, or drawn from a small set of house phrasings — neither — write the regex reader
  Measured on THIS corpus this turn: a reader built from the generator's two-phrasings-per-field table recovers 43 of 44 prose-only facts and takes the free floor to 480/480 rows and 60/60 dossiers, past the paid arm, for nothing. If your narratives are that regular, the model is buying you a tenth of a point and a per-call bill.
• A desk that wants a verdict shipped straight through, with a person only on the exceptions — neither — this kit does not produce a decision
  It produces the record a reviewer confirms, with the deciding condition printed beside every verdict so the reasoning can be checked rather than believed. INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION is a real answer here rather than a refusal, and 62 rows over 26 dossiers carry it — a desk that auto-ships would have to choose one of the two lies this kit exists to avoid.

At a glanceHow the whole thing runs

Run once, for real, on 2026-08-31. Every figure on these pages was captured from that run — nothing is written from intent.

14 steps, grouped by the question that sends you to them rather than by build order. Each tile carries the one figure that step is about, and opens the page behind it.

Should you use this?What you bring, where it stops, and when not to use it

Before you commit an afternoon to this, these are the answers that decide it. Each one is rendered from the record it lives in — and links the page that holds it in full.

Not asked of this kit — 2 questions: clone (a fresh clone of this kit runs with nothing fetched); judge (nothing here is graded by a model).

Last verified 2026-08-31 — r001-exemption-screen. Every figure on these pages was captured from that run.

Run itHow this reaches your data

Every result on this page was produced by pure code over checked-in files, with no API key — which is why you can read the numbers before anyone spends anything.

Checked before this shipped — Measured this turn on three scratch copies, none of which had a key. python3 -m tools.build_corpus rebuilds the whole corpus in 0.11 s; python3 -m evals.check_labels re-derives all 480 rows independently in 0.03 s and prints 'no disagreement'; each free floor scores the corpus in 0.08 s. Nothing pip-installs -- requirements.txt names nothing and the standard library is the entire dependency list. ⚡ AND THE REBUILD IS BYTE-IDENTICAL, MEASURED RATHER THAN CLAIMED: three rebuilds at PYTHONHASHSEED=1, 97531 and 424242, each diffed recursively against the committed data/ directory, clean every time. The re-run free floors also reproduce the committed result files' score blocks exactly. That check exists because a sibling kit in this batch claimed byte-identical rebuilds and did not have them.

In brief

What the clock covers. One dossier, one call, wall clock at the client, over all 60 calls of r001-exemption-screen -- every one of which answered, so nothing is excluded from these two figures. p50 51,070 ms, p95 121,090 ms, max 150,130 ms, min 20,334 ms. ⚠︎ THIS IS A BATCH SHAPE, NOT AN INTERACTIVE ONE: two minutes at p95 for one dossier. The whole 60-dossier run finished in 741.1 s of wall clock against 3,614.8 s of summed call latency -- 4.88x, which is the arithmetic that shows 5 workers were used, and refutes any reading of this run as single-threaded.

Current processWhat it replaces

Nothing is replaced. It replaces the FIRST PASS of reading a dossier against a schedule -- the part where somebody works eight exemptions one at a time and writes down which condition ended each. It does not file, does not claim, does not decide, and produces no regulatory advice: the schedule, the registry, the substances and the lists in this kit are all invented and restate nothing.

In brief

How it is cutWhat one item dossier is

No train/test split, because nothing is trained, tuned or fitted -- there is not one threshold in this kit that was swept. No segmentation either: one dossier goes whole into one call, at 1,397 characters and 7.2% of the prompt on the recorded example. The sizes are the dossiers' own bytes, measured off data/corpus/ 2026-08-31. 9 dossiers are clean and 51 are hard, across eleven planted cases: silent_decisive 8, buried_fail 7, prose_only_fact 7, two_qualify 6, clean_single 5, silence_vs_fail 5, any_of_limb 5, restricted_component 5, any_of_silent 4, nothing_qualifies 4, threshold_edge 4.

SetupWhat the setup figure measured

There is no index and nothing is retrieved. The whole schedule and both annexes go into every prompt at 11,560 characters, byte-identical on all 60 calls, and data/rulebook.json is read once at import by src/rulebook.py. The 0.11 s is the ENTIRE corpus rebuild measured on a keyless scratch copy this turn (tools/build_corpus.py) -- there is nothing else to build. For scale beside it: check_labels.py re-derives all 480 rows in 0.03 s and each free floor scores the whole corpus in 0.08 s.

LicenceLicence

MIT — generated in process for this kit, original throughout, no third-party material. The MIT text is the file LICENSE-PUBLIC at the kits-repo root, read 2026-08-31. ⚠︎ THE ROOT LICENSE IS A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT UNDER SEPARATE TERMS AND IS NOT THIS ONE — it governs access to the repository, which is private, and grants a reader nothing. So the sentence 'MIT, this repository's own licence' would be false: the kit is MIT, the repository is not. Nothing here is anybody else's to license: every dossier, the answer key, the schedule, the substance identifiers, the annexes, the consignor names, the generator and the harness were written for this kit and nothing was scraped, fetched, purchased, transcribed, anonymised, adapted or derived from any real document, dataset or register.

Bring your ownBring your own item dossiers, one screening record each

Drop your own dossiers as .txt into data/corpus/ and add one row per dossier to data/items.json (id, format, case, hard, target, consignor, site, filed, and a declared block holding ONLY the particulars your intake form actually captured). Replace data/rulebook.json with your own schedule: exemption ids, condition tests, thresholds, group modes and burdens are read, never hard-coded, and the prompt renders that same file, so the engine and the model cannot drift apart. Then write data/gold.jsonl -- or let src/screen.py::screen() compute it from the facts, which is what the generator does -- and run python3 -m evals.check_labels, which re-derives every row against your rulebook with its own arithmetic and tells you where the key and the schedule disagree.

⚠︎ And what stops being true when you do: ⚠︎ OMIT A KEY RATHER THAN NULLING IT. The omission is the silence this kit measures; a null in the declared block is a statement that the form captured the field and it was empty, which is a different fact and scores differently. ⚠︎ AND DO NOT POINT THIS AT LIVE DOSSIERS CASUALLY. An exemption dossier is a filing by a named party stating what they hold, in what quantity and for what purpose, and the WHOLE DOCUMENT goes to a model provider verbatim -- there is no pre-parsed summary step, deliberately, because a summary is where a silence quietly becomes a boolean. That is a disclosure decision for whoever owns the filing and it is not one a kit can make. Run it against an extract you are permitted to disclose, or against a local model.

Step 05 of 14Prompt

Written for: engineer · Logged from the run, verbatim.

In brief

The assembled prompt in full, and its real decomposition. Every part below occurs in the prompt that was actually sent, and the token counts sum to the recorded input total — they were measured against the provider’s own counter, not apportioned by character share.

AssemblyHow the prompt is assembled

This is the cost lesson as arithmetic: of the 4,755 tokens assembled, 2,849 are contexts — 60% of the prompt, the largest single part. A per-request bill follows whichever part is biggest, and on this kit that is the one named here.

The exact five parts sent on the r001-exemption-screen call for IT-0001, rebuilt this turn from src/prompt.py on a keyless scratch copy and character-for-character equal to the run record's own decomposition (19,294 characters; system 4,069 / schedule 7,752 / lists 3,808 / dossier 1,397 / schema 2,268).

Full promptThe prompt in full

You are screening ONE ITEM against a WHOLE SCHEDULE OF EXEMPTIONS, condition by numbered
condition. Your output is the SCREENING RECORD a person confirms -- so that the reviewer confirms a
record instead of reading a rulebook.

How to read it:

- The dossier below is the only account of the item you have. It is the consignor's own
  declaration: a form, a memo, an extract or a packet, and the particulars are spread between a
  declared section and a narrative. Read BOTH. A fact stated once, anywhere in the dossier, is
  stated.
- A particular that appears NOWHERE in the dossier is NOT STATED. It is not false, it is not zero,
  and it is not "no". Report it as null. This is the single most important instruction here and it
  is the one that decides a third of the answers below.
- Work every exemption in the schedule, in order, all of them -- not the one the consignor asked
  for and not the first one that fits. An item may qualify under several, and the schedule's own
  rule decides which to claim.
- Apply each exemption's condition GROUPS as written: an ALL-group needs every one of its
  conditions; an ANY-group needs one limb and no more. An ANY-group with one limb down and another
  standing is satisfied. An ANY-group with one limb down and the other never mentioned is not
  settled either way.
- Cite exactly one condition as deciding each verdict, by its id, using the schedule's own
  tie-break. For an exemption that qualifies there is no such condition: return null rather than
  naming one.
- Then answer the two item-level questions: which exemption to claim, and which undecidable
  exemptions are CHEAPER than the one being claimed -- the places where one missing fact stands
  between this item and a lighter relief.

THE THREE VERDICTS -- exactly one for every exemption in the schedule, every time.

  INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION
    No condition of the exemption is stated and unmet, and at least one condition it turns on
    is NOT STATED anywhere in the dossier -- not on the form, not in the narrative, not in an
    annex. The exemption may well be available; this dossier cannot say so. The answer names
    the condition and the fact to go and get.
    Getting it wrong: This is the verdict a screen loses first, and losing it costs in both
    directions. Collapsed into FAILS, a relief the item probably has is written off over a
    sentence nobody asked for. Collapsed into QUALIFIES -- silence read as satisfaction -- an
    exemption is claimed on a condition that was never established, which is the claim that
    comes apart under the first question about it. Both mistakes look like a decisive screen
    and neither is one.

  QUALIFIES
    Every condition group of the exemption is satisfied on the facts the dossier states: every
    member of each ALL-group met, and at least one limb of each ANY-group met. The item may be
    claimed under it, subject to the exemption's own continuing obligations.
    Getting it wrong: Said of an exemption that fails, it is a claim made on a condition the
    item does not meet. Said of one that is merely undecided, it is worse, because nothing on
    the face of the record shows the gap. Missed -- the exemption qualifies and the screen
    says otherwise -- the item carries a registration and a set of obligations it never
    needed.

  FAILS
    At least one condition group is defeated: an ALL-group has a condition the dossier states
    and the item does not meet, or an ANY-group has every limb stated and none of them met. No
    further fact rescues it without changing the item. The answer names the condition that did
    it.
    Getting it wrong: Said of an exemption that qualifies, a real relief is abandoned. Said of
    one the dossier is merely silent on, the finding reads as settled when it is a missing
    sentence -- and nobody goes and gets the sentence, because a failed exemption is not a
    queue anybody works. That is the quiet version of this mistake and it is the common one.

Reply with JSON and nothing else, in the shape given at the end.

THE EXEMPTION SCHEDULE, as this registry applies it.

  Scheme    Northgate Substance Registry -- Registry Notice 12 (INVENTED)
  Unit      one item dossier, screened against every exemption in the schedule

HOW A CONDITION IS EVALUATED
  A condition whose field the dossier does not state anywhere -- not in the declared
  particulars, not in the narrative, not in an annex -- evaluates to NOT STATED. It is never
  read as satisfied and never read as failed. This is the rule this schedule exists to
  enforce, and it is the one a two-verdict screen cannot express.

HOW A GROUP IS EVALUATED
  An ALL-group is satisfied when every one of its conditions is met; it is defeated the moment
  one of them is stated and not met; otherwise, if any of its conditions is not stated, it is
  undetermined. An ANY-group is satisfied as soon as one of its conditions is met, whatever
  the others say; it is defeated only when every limb is stated and none is met; otherwise it
  is undetermined.

THE ORDER THE VERDICTS ARE TRIED IN
  FAILS -> INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION -> QUALIFIES
  Fixed order, applied top down, per exemption. FAILS is first because a condition the dossier
  states is not met settles the exemption whatever else is unknown -- a defeated exemption is
  defeated. INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION comes next and is the whole point of the schedule:
  silence is NOT satisfaction. A dossier that says nothing about a condition has not met it,
  and has not failed it either. QUALIFIES is reached only when every condition of every group
  is stated and satisfied.

WHICH CONDITION IS CITED
  Exactly one condition is cited as deciding each verdict. For FAILS it is the lowest-numbered
  condition that defeats a group -- the stated-and-not-met condition of a defeated ALL-group,
  or the first-numbered limb of a defeated ANY-group. For INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION it is the
  lowest-numbered NOT STATED condition inside an undetermined group. For QUALIFIES there is
  none: nothing decided against the item, and citing a condition there would be inventing a
  reason.

WHICH EXEMPTION TO CLAIM
  Among the exemptions that QUALIFY, claim the one with the LOWEST burden. Ties go to the
  lowest exemption id. Burden is the count of continuing obligations the exemption carries and
  it is NOT the order the exemptions are numbered in -- EX-08 is cheaper to hold than EX-07,
  and EX-04 is cheaper than EX-03. Claiming the first exemption that happens to qualify is the
  mistake this rule exists to name. An exemption whose verdict is INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION is
  NOT claimable, however cheap it would be.

WHICH UNDECIDABLE EXEMPTIONS TO FLAG
  List every exemption whose verdict is INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION and whose burden is STRICTLY
  LOWER than the burden of the exemption being claimed -- or every INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION
  exemption when nothing is claimed at all. These are the exemptions where one missing fact
  stands between the item and a cheaper relief, sorted by burden then id. An equal burden is
  not better and is not listed.

Step 06 of 14Evals

Written for: the skeptic · The harness output, with as_of / model version / dataset version / verified_by.

In brief

Screen one item against a schedule of exemptions, condition by condition — 60 item dossiers drawn from 60 real item dossiers, one screening record each. One model answered, and every answer was then graded Three different ways — because the grade is a measurement too, and most of what went wrong on this kit went wrong in the ruler rather than the model.

The rulerHow it was graded

No model grades anything and why is never a grader. Every metric is an exact string or set comparison against data/gold.jsonl: the verdict on each of the 480 rows, the numbered condition cited as deciding it, the claim (order-free, null-aware) and the better-if-resolved SET (order-insensitive). ⚡ THE THREE VERDICT CLASSES ARE REPORTED SEPARATELY, WITH RECALL AND PRECISION SIDE BY SIDE, AND INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION IS NEVER FOLDED INTO AN AGGREGATE. That is not presentation: 79.2% of the key is FAILS, so an arm that answers only the majority class scores 79.2% and has told nobody anything. no_verdict is counted on its own and never resolved into a cautious-looking verdict. Both arms of the paid run -- RAW and RECHECKED -- are scored end to end and published side by side, which is how this kit knows its own pure-code station costs it accuracy.

MeasurementsWhat was measured

Two words carry this page: Counted is deterministic and nobody's opinion and Not yet known is printed blank rather than filled with something plausible. There is no Judged row here and that is the point: nothing on this page is a model's opinion about another model. The row most worth having is currently the empty one.

Grading costWhat it costs

Every dollar on this page is a MEASURED token count multiplied by a named vendor's PUBLISHED rate — a projection onto a rate card, not a bill anybody paid. The token counts come from the provider's own usage block on each of the 60 calls, and 91.2% of the output tokens they report are provider-side reasoning the kit did not ask for. ⚠︎ THIS KIT PUBLISHES NO ACTUAL SPEND AT ALL, and that is a property of the KIT rather than of this page: evals/run.py::RATE_CARDS is empty, so results/eval-r001-exemption-screen.json carries usd: null with its reason and no per-call price. The harness reported absence instead of guessing.

Rates checked 2026-08-27. The provider that actually ran every call here is kept off this page per the series rule, and its real spend is not recorded in the kit either — there is no rate card in the harness to record it with. What IS on disk is the model id, the exact token totals including the cache and reasoning splits, the per-call latencies, the call count and the timestamps. Apply your own card to those numbers; the cache split in particular will move the input side, and this page's projection deliberately does not.

Grading unitWhat the grading figure prices

Grading is pure Python over committed JSON and costs $0.00 against any result file, with no key and no network. Measured on keyless scratch copies this turn: 0.11 s to rebuild the whole corpus, 0.03 s for the independent key check over all 480 rows, 0.08 s to score an entire free arm. Re-scoring a cached paid run is also free -- but it MUST be run as --resume --rescore: --rescore alone empties the cached set, drops all 60 dossiers to todo and goes back to the provider, which is 60 paid calls to recompute numbers already on disk.

The gradersThree ways to grade

⚠︎ READ THE 79.2 FIRST. An arm that answers FAILS on every one of the 480 rows and reads no dossier at all scores 79.2%, because that is the share of the key that is FAILS. That is the number every headline on this page has to be read against, and it is why the three verdict classes are reported separately everywhere. TWO FREE FLOORS ARE PUBLISHED, NOT ONE, AND THE SECOND IS THE ONE THAT MATTERS. Both are the intake record the registry already holds, run through the same src/screen.py every arm uses. They differ by ONE POLICY CONSTANT. rules reads an empty column as a FAILURE — what a screen written against a database actually does — and scores 411/480 and 27/60. rules-nulls reads it as NOT STATED and scores 471/480 and 53/60. That one constant is worth 60 verdict rows and 26 dossiers, it costs nothing, and publishing only the first would have hidden the more interesting half. ⚠︎ AND A THIRD FREE ARM, NOT SHIPPED, BEATS EVERYTHING ON THIS PAGE. Every narrative sentence in this corpus comes from a generator table of exactly two phrasings per field. A regex reader built from those stems was written and run against the corpus THIS TURN: it recovers 43 of the 44 prose-only facts and lifts the floor to 480/480 verdict rows and 60/60 dossiers — a perfect score, free, with no model, ahead of the paid arm's 479/480 and 56/60. Two honest qualifications, in both directions: it was written WITH THE GENERATOR OPEN, so it is an upper bound on what a narrative reader could do here; and it changes no published number. What it changes is what the numbers MEAN — the model's nine-row advantage measures 'reads a templated sentence', not 'reads a hard document'. evals/baseline.py gives a considered reason for not shipping a prose-reading floor (patterns fitted to four generated formats are neither the database an organisation has nor the model it is deciding whether to buy) and that reason still holds — it has to be read BESIDE this measurement, not instead of it.

Every row opens its own page: how the test was run, the input on one real row, the prompt or formula with every iteration of it, and the analysis.

Choosing oneWhich one to use

The comparison is only useful if it ends in a choice. The answer is conditional — and it is not the grader with the best agreement score.

This pipeline was also attacked, which is a different question from whether its answers are right: see Threat model for the injection experiment, its two gates and what it does not prove.

Failure causesHow it fails

Step 07 of 14Unit cost

Written for: whoever signs off on the bill · Measured over the eval run, per model. Never quoted from a vendor page.

In brief

The token counts are measured on a real run and belong to this pipeline — which sections are selected, the field schema, the prompt — so they hold wherever you run it. The dollars are those counts multiplied by each vendor's published rate, checked 2026-08-27. Nobody paid these particular bills; they are what the same work would cost you on a card you can sign up to today.

Answering vs gradingGrading is free; the only spend is 60 calls, and all 60 answered.

The corpus generator, the independent key check, the screening engine, the scorer, the recheck and BOTH free floors are pure Python and cost $0.00 against any result file, with no key and no network — measured on a cold keyless clone this turn at 0.11 s to rebuild the corpus, 0.03 s to re-derive the key and 0.08 s to score each free arm end to end. The only spend is the paid arm: 60 calls, all 60 answered, projected at $1.536195 on the shared card. There were also two free arms (b000 x2) and one free stub arm (t000) on disk, none of which cost a cent. ⚠︎ RE-SCORING A CACHED RUN IS FREE BUT MUST BE --resume --rescore: --rescore alone empties the cached set and re-fires all 60 calls.

Cost driversWhat actually moves the bill

• OUTPUT TOKENS. 7,740.1 out against 4,765.6 in per dossier and 90.7% of the projected bill at a 6x output rate. The reply carries an eighteen-field reading plus eight verdict rows each with a citation and a sentence of reasoning, so the answer grows with the number of EXEMPTIONS IN THE SCHEDULE while the document grows only with the dossier.
• PROVIDER-SIDE REASONING, which is 91.2% of that output (423,615 of 464,409 tokens) and was never asked for. It is billed at the output rate, counted against max_tokens, never shown, and re-rolled per call — simultaneously the largest line on the bill (~83% of it) and the one the kit has least control over. thinking was left at the provider's default and not sent.
• NOT THE DOSSIER. Input is 4,765.6 tokens per call and 9.3% of the bill, and 70.6% of it comes back as cache hits because 92.8% of every prompt is a fixed prefix. Doubling the length of every dossier in the corpus would move the total by well under three per cent. THE SCHEDULE is the input cost, and it is paid once per call whatever the dossier says.
• NOT THE GRADING, AND NOT THE FLOORS. Both free arms, the key check, the corpus rebuild and every re-score are $0.00 and finish in tenths of a second. There is no index to build, no embedding step and no retrieval. The entire cost of this kit is 60 completions.

Your volumeWhat it costs at your volume

LINEAR IN DOSSIERS AND FLAT IN DOSSIER LENGTH. Ten times the dossiers is ten times the calls at the same per-dossier price — $1.536195 for sixty becomes $15.36 for six hundred on the shared card, with no index to rebuild and nothing shared between calls beyond the cached prefix, and the wall clock scales with workers rather than volume (5 workers turned 3,614.8 s of call time into 741.1 s). ⚠︎ TEN TIMES THE SCHEDULE IS A DIFFERENT QUESTION AND THIS RUN CANNOT ANSWER IT. 92.8% of every prompt is the schedule and both annexes, and the REPLY grows with the number of exemptions too — one verdict row, one citation and one sentence each. A schedule of 80 exemptions roughly triples the input and the output at once, and there is no retrieval step to fall back on because sending the whole schedule every time is the design. The largest reply here used 58.4% of the ceiling on an 8-exemption schedule.

Model choiceWhy this model

It is the tier the estate runs, so the figure compares with every sibling kit. ⚠︎ AND THE RESULT IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION. One model, one key, one day, one run. No cheaper tier was tried and no larger one, so nothing here says this tier is the right size for the job — only what it scored and what its tokens would cost on a named card. The projection rows below are prices for models that were never called against this corpus and cannot be ranked on it. And on this corpus the interesting comparison is not against a bigger model at all: it is against $0.00.

Other modelsOn other models

This is arithmetic, not a run. No model below was executed against the labelled set, and no accuracy is claimed for any of them. What transfers is the input volume: retrieval is model-independent, so every model would receive the same passages.

the whole 60-dossier scored run (r001-exemption-screen, the fast tier): 285,936 input tokens of which 201,728 (70.6%) were served from cache, and 464,409 output tokens of which 423,615 (91.2%) are provider-side reasoning. 60 calls attempted, 60 answered, 60 contributing usage to these totals, 0 failures and 0 at the ceiling. usd_actually_paid is null because THE KIT'S HARNESS WIRES NO RATE CARD and its result file therefore records no dollar figure — absence reported rather than a tariff guessed.

The codeEvery file, and what it is for

15 modules, no framework, and almost no dependencies. The pipeline is stdlib Python, because a kit is meant to be read and changed by someone who cloned it ten minutes ago — every dependency is a thing they have to understand before they can touch the part they came for.

Seven of these are swap seams: the points you edit to make the kit yours. Each is marked, and each block below is the module’s real shape, read out of the file rather than written here.

The files on this page are not in the public GitHub catalog.

data/rulebook.jsonthe exemption schedule — a swap seam

THE ONLY COPY of any exemption id, condition test, threshold, group mode, burden, annex member, precedence or tie-break in the kit. 8 exemptions, 34 conditions, 10 groups (2 of them ANY-groups), 19 substances of which 5 are restricted and 3 prohibited. It carries its own authority field declaring itself invented, so the declaration travels with the file.

You change it to: Everything and nothing. Exemption ids, condition tests, thresholds, group modes, burdens, both annexes, the precedence and the claim rule are all READ. Swap the file and the engine, the prompt, the key checker, the floor, the recheck and the board all follow it; nothing in src/ changes. It also invalidates every rate on this page, because the schedule IS the task definition.

# 

src/rulebook.pythe rulebook loader

Builds the lookups every other module needs -- condition by id, group by id, which exemption owns a condition, which annex a substance is on, each exemption's burden. It holds NO rule: not one threshold, list member, exemption id or verdict word is typed here.

The pure-code station, and every arm stands on it. Three-state condition evaluation (MET / NOT_MET / NOT_STATED), ALL and ANY group logic, precedence, the lowest-numbered citation tie-break and the lowest-burden claim rule. It writes the answer key, it is the free floor, it is what the recheck re-derives with, and it knows nothing about chemicals.

Takes the READING from the model and re-derives everything the schedule decides mechanically through src/screen.py. ⚠︎ ON THIS KIT IT IS A NET LOSS and its own docstring named the exposure before any run happened: 'the recheck cannot fix a misread, and on this kit that is the whole exposure.' 6 records overridden, 0 unrecheckable.

You change it to: Whether the model's verdicts ship, or the schedule applied to the model's reading ships. On this kit the second is WORSE (99.2 vs 99.8), and the raw arm is what the page publishes. On a corpus with fewer prose-only facts it would be better. Both arms are in the result file so this is measured rather than argued.

Written, committed, and NEVER FIRED. It appends one consignor's-note line asking the reader to treat unstated particulars as satisfied, and counts how many undecidable exemptions turn into QUALIFIES. It is paired against the scored run's own cache, so it costs one call per dossier. 26 dossiers carry an undecidable exemption; --limit 20 would make it 20 paid calls.

Every entry above is a file in this kit, listed in the order the pipeline runs it.

ScenariosWhat it costs at your volume

Everything below is computed from one measured base: 4765 input and 7740 output tokens per query, all of it fixed — this kit sends the document's own selected sections, so there is no retrieval depth to turn. Change the volume and the bill scales linearly, because nothing here batches.

OperationsFour shapes of workload

The same arithmetic, at volumes worth naming. These are illustrations of scale, not measurements of anyone’s deployment.

Model follows the controls above.

What this ignoresWhere a real bill diverges

In one lineWhat this kit exposes

WRITTEN, PAIRED BY DESIGN, AND NEVER FIRED — and saying so is the whole of this page. The dossier is this kit's injection surface and the threat is not hypothetical: AN EXEMPTION DOSSIER IS WRITTEN BY THE PARTY THAT WANTS THE EXEMPTION. It arrives as free text — a narrative, a remarks block, a notes column — and it reaches the model VERBATIM, because a pre-parsed particulars table is where a silence quietly becomes a boolean and the whole measurement here is what an arm does with an absence. So the absence has to survive to the model, and so does anything else the filer chose to write.

API_KEY is read from the shared <code>&lt;repo&gt;/.env</code>, then this kit's own <code>.env</code>, then the real environment, in that order, and the kit-local file is merged KEY BY KEY so a file holding only MODEL overrides the model and keeps the shared provider and key. Neither file is required and a missing one is not an error — that is what keeps a single kit independently forkable. Writes go through <code>os.open</code> at 0600 BEFORE the write, so the file never exists at the default umask, and <code>config.sources()</code> reports which files contributed and never a value. Both paths are gitignored and this repository has never held a credential.

The experimentWe attacked it — two gates

An indirect prompt injection has to clear two gates, and they behave differently. Both were run for real on 2026-08-31.

⚠︎ BOTH PREDICTIONS ARE WRITTEN DOWN SO THAT A RUN CAN REFUTE THEM, AND NEITHER IS EVIDENCE. The probe is PAIRED and its control is FREE: it reads the scored run's own answers out of results/cache-r001-exemption-screen.jsonl, so it costs one call per dossier instead of two, and only dossiers the control got right enter the paired denominator — 'the injected arm also got it wrong' is not evidence about injection. It selects the dossiers whose KEY carries at least one INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION verdict, because those are the rows the sentence has something to convert. 26 dossiers qualify; the default --limit 20 makes it 20 paid calls. The control now exists and the probe was still not fired.

The result0 of 20 adversarial calls fired. Nothing about injection has been measured on this kit, and no rate is published.

Every trial WOULD BE one dossier of this corpus with the shipped line appended as its final sentence and everything else byte-identical, paired against that same dossier's answer read from results/cache-r001-exemption-screen.jsonl. Both arms are scored, and the two numbers would say exactly which half of this job the pure-code station protects — with the kit's own prediction being that it protects the wrong half. None of it has been run.

HonestyWhat this does not prove

• EVERYTHING ABOUT INJECTION. The probe is written and unfired — 20 calls, none made. No sentence, no model, no day. Nothing on this page is a measurement.
• WHETHER THE STRUCTURAL PROTECTION HELPS AT ALL HERE. That the schedule, the thresholds, the group logic, the precedence and the claim rule are re-derived in code is a fact about the code. That an adversarial dossier cannot defeat it is a DIFFERENT claim, it has not been tested, and this kit's own prediction is that the attack routes around it through the reading.
• WHETHER A DIFFERENT SENTENCE WOULD WORK. One line is shipped. It is the plausible attack rather than the strongest one, and a probe that fails says nothing about the sentence somebody else would write.
• WHETHER THE rules FLOOR'S BEHAVIOUR IS THE SAME FAILURE WEARING PLAIN CLOTHES. The free floor reads silence as failure 62 times, which is the conservative direction; the attack asks for the opposite policy. Nothing here measures whether a rules engine could be talked into the reverse, because a rules engine reads no text at all — which is a real security property and is not counted anywhere on this page.

In one lineThe only guardrail is the prompt

One instruction, no enforcement. It mostly holds — and mostly is the whole subject.

Never write to the intake record, never edit a dossier, never file anything, never mark an exemption claimed. This kit produces THE SCREENING RECORD A PERSON CONFIRMS, with the numbered condition printed beside every verdict so the reasoning can be checked rather than believed. INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION is a real answer rather than a refusal, and it names the fact to go and get. And it is not regulatory advice about anything: the registry, the schedule, the conditions, the thresholds, the zones, the lists and the substances are all invented.

Stated in the prompt, in the README and in src/app.py's docstring, and enforced by there being no such endpoint: the board's POST routes return screening records and nothing else, and there is no write path to data/items.json, data/rulebook.json or data/gold.jsonl anywhere in the kit. The only files any run writes are under results/.

EvidenceDoes it hold?

The limitWhat a guardrail is not

• This is ABSENCE OF A WRITE PATH plus a prompt rule, not a runtime enforcement layer — with one real exception: src/screen.py IS enforcement for everything the schedule decides by arithmetic (the condition tests, the group logic, the precedence, the tie-break and the claim rule).
• It is not a decision and it is not a filing. It produces a record a reviewer confirms, and it never claims anything on anybody's behalf.
• It is not regulatory advice and it is not a screening tool for any real exemption. Every registry, schedule, condition, threshold, zone, substance, consignor and site in it is invented and restates nothing. Nothing here should inform a decision about a real item.
• It is not a claim that a model beats a rules engine at this job. On this corpus a free rules engine allowed to say 'not stated' is level with the paid arm nearly everywhere and ahead of it in four places, and a regex reader over the generated narratives beats it outright.
• It is not tested against an adversarial dossier. evals/injection.py has never been fired: 20 calls, 0 made.
• It is not an argument for a bigger model. Every failure bucket that matters is empty or nearly so, and six miss records over 480 rows is not enough failure to analyse. The next useful move is a harder corpus.

WatchedWhat is watched, and why that one

The kit measures 53 watched figures plus 8 comparability guards and 5 reference constants — three duties, not one list. 0 of the watched are grader rates, each on its own grader page; this board watches the ones that decide when to look again. Each square is one watched figure; filled means the latest run measured it.

236 measured by the latest run -183 need the model half

GuardsBefore any comparison

Preconditions, not alarms. If one moves, the runs were not measuring the same system and nothing else on this board may be differenced.

all shared guards held between the recorded runs (better_items 60, better_nonempty_items 26, case_any_of_limb_items 5, case_any_of_limb_rows 40, case_any_of_silent_items 4, case_any_of_silent_rows 32, case_buried_fail_items 7, case_buried_fail_rows 56, case_clean_single_items 5, case_clean_single_rows 40, case_nothing_qualifies_items 4, case_nothing_qualifies_rows 32, case_prose_only_fact_items 7, case_prose_only_fact_rows 56, case_restricted_component_items 5, case_restricted_component_rows 40, case_silence_vs_fail_items 5, case_silence_vs_fail_rows 40, case_silent_decisive_items 8, case_silent_decisive_rows 64, case_threshold_edge_items 4, case_threshold_edge_rows 32, case_two_qualify_items 6, case_two_qualify_rows 48, cited_rows 442, claim_null_rows 33, claims 60, clean_items 9, dataset_version exemption-screen-v1-60dossiers, exemptions_per_item 8, fails_rows 380, failures 0, graded_rows 480, graded_rows_answered 480, hard_items 51, insufficient_information_rows 62, items 60, items_answered 60, majority_class FAILS, multi_qualify_items 9, no_citation_rows 38, prompt_chars_total 19294, qualifies_rows 38, rechecked_better_items 60, rechecked_better_nonempty_items 26, rechecked_cited_rows 442, rechecked_claim_null_rows 33, rechecked_claims 60, rechecked_clean_items 9, rechecked_fails_rows 380, rechecked_graded_rows_answered 480, rechecked_hard_items 51, rechecked_insufficient_information_rows 62, rechecked_multi_qualify_items 9, rechecked_no_citation_rows 38, rechecked_qualifies_rows 38, rechecked_rederived_from_cache False, socket_timeout_s 1200) — which is why the history below is allowed to mean anything.

The reference constants — the null-grader baseline, the adjudication matrix, the negative count — are the third duty. They are never re-measured per run: a baseline that moves with the thing it measures is not a baseline.

BandsThe alarm bands

Derived from evidence, never picked: exact-match where two runs reproduced a metric to the digit, wider than the measured same-input drift for latency, one row of the negative class for any rate — denominator printed beside it.

HistoryRun history

4 recorded runs. A dash is a metric that run did not measure, and a dash is never differenced: not measured is a third state, neither a value nor a zero, and reading it as zero is how a board reports an improvement on a run that never looked. They are split into 3 blocks because a free floor is a baseline rather than a peer, and a run of another kind measures another thing; a column in one block is never differenced against a column in another.

comply · no model in the path — a baseline, not a peer column — 2 runs. A floor is what the kit scores with no model in the path; it is the line the model runs have to beat, and it is never differenced against them.

not a time series No two of these 2 runs measured the same system — they differ on floor, the model — so nothing here may be differenced and the Verdict column is left off. Read this block DOWN a column, as a comparison between those runs, not along a row as a history.

comply · with the model in the path — 1 run. Columns here are only ever compared with each other.

one run A verdict is a comparison and one run has nothing to compare with, so the Verdict column is left off rather than filled with 239 chips that all say so.

stub · no model in the path — a baseline, not a peer column — 1 run. A floor is what the kit scores with no model in the path; it is the line the model runs have to beat, and it is never differenced against them.

one run A verdict is a comparison and one run has nothing to compare with, so the Verdict column is left off rather than filled with 236 chips that all say so.

DeviationsWhat deviated

0 breaches across 4 runs

The day a band breaks, a row renders here carrying the metric, the two runs, the band it crossed and what changed between them — model, prompt, chunker or top_k, read off the run records’ guards. A deviation with no diff beside it is an alarm nobody can act on.

RippleThe ripple map

Which figures move together, so one alarm reads as a system. Every edge carries its basis: measured names the run that showed it; reasoning admits nothing has varied it yet.

FiresWhat fires when a band breaks

Where evals stop sitting beside the guardrail and start feeding it. Where the answer is nothing automatic, the row says so — hiding it would undo “What a guardrail is not” above.

NextThe three you would add first

None of these is built here. They are named against the seam they sit on so they can be argued with.

CadenceWhen to re-run, and what it costs

Re-score on every change to data/rulebook.json or src/prompt.py, which is free and must be run as --resume --rescore — the schedule is rendered into the prompt AND read by every code path, so a change there changes what is being asked as well as what is being checked. Re-run evals/check_labels.py on every corpus rebuild; it takes 0.03 s and it is the only thing standing between a bug in src/screen.py and a key that agrees with its own correction. Re-fire the paid arm only when the corpus or the schedule changes, never to chase a number: this run's misses have been read, and the run is not re-fired after that.

In one lineNo framework, deliberately

NO FRAMEWORK. A folder of readable Python, standard library end to end — no orchestration layer, no vendor SDK, no rules engine, no retrieval stack, no JSON-schema library, no pip install. requirements.txt names nothing to install.

The mappingSeam by seam, who owns what

The seams are the ones this kit already publishes, so the mapping cannot drift from the code.

GraphsWhere LangGraph changes the answer

Linear, and concurrent only at the dossier level. There is no agent, no tool loop, no retrieval and no state carried between dossiers — read the dossier, work eight exemptions, pick the claim, list what a missing fact is blocking. That is why 5 workers is the whole concurrency story and why a failed call says nothing about any other.

The other sideWhat a framework costs you

• No dependency to install, pin, audit or upgrade. requirements.txt names nothing; a cold clone runs in tenths of a second.
• Everything is legible: the schedule is one JSON file, the engine is one Python file, and a threshold restated in code would be a second copy, so there is not one.
• The price is that there is no framework to hide behind either — the retry policy, the JSON tolerance, the concurrency and the spend ledger are all this kit's own code and all this kit's own bugs.
• And one real cost is measured: the pure-code station this design is built around is a NET LOSS on this kit. A framework would not have saved it; only a better reading would.

In one lineWhat one run of this kit actually cost, in time and tokens

Measured on r001-exemption-screen on the fast tier, 2026-08-31. This kit records telemetry measured per run — 4 of the 6 readings on this axis, 4 of them with a band the guardrail board can judge against.

The readingWhat the last run measured

No movement column. Not one of the 2 earlier runs on record is comparable with this one — a different model tier, or a changed guard — and differencing across that measures two systems rather than one. Said once here rather than as a dash on every row.

Retrieval not shown. No run of this kit has ever recorded a retrieval timing, because the pipeline has no such stage. Those readings are left out rather than dashed: a dash says “this run did not measure it”, which promises a later run could.

DriftMedian call, run over run

No drift chart. Only one run has recorded a call latency; the other 2 runs on record made no model call at all — a rules-only floor stores 0, which is an absence, not a zero-millisecond answer. One timed run is a reading, not a trend, and it is in the table above. A chart appears the day a second run times itself.

The other sideWhat this does not tell you

The first of those is the one worth doing something about, and it is a solved problem: instrumenting a pipeline so each step reports its own duration is a couple of lines. Observability / tracing has the code, and what the result looks like once it is running.

In one lineWhat you provision, honestly

Everything measured on this page says where it was measured; everything not measured says that — the same contract as the other thirteen pages. Where a retrieval index would be on other kits, this one has: no index — the rulebook is data read whole into the prompt.

The other sideWhat this page does not claim

The corpus licence, from the Data lens: MIT — generated in process for this kit, original throughout, no third-party material. The MIT text is the file LICENSE-PUBLIC at the kits-repo root, read 2026-08-31. ⚠︎ THE ROOT LICENSE IS A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT UNDER SEPARATE TERMS AND IS NOT THIS ONE — it governs access to the repository, which is private, and grants a reader nothing. So the sentence 'MIT, this repository's own licence' would be false: the kit is MIT, the repository is not. Nothing here is anybody else's to license: every dossier, the answer key, the schedule, the substance identifiers, the annexes, the consignor names, the generator and the harness were written for this kit and nothing was scraped, fetched, purchased, transcribed, anonymised, adapted or derived from any real document, dataset or register. Your corpus’s licence is yours to verify, and the labels you write are about your documents.

In one lineThe verdict on every exemption in the schedule — one of three, per row, 480 rows

whether each of the 480 (dossier, exemption) rows carries the verdict a reviewer would confirm: QUALIFIES, FAILS, or INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION. THREE classes, not two, and the third is the whole point of the kit — it means no condition is stated-and-unmet and at least one condition the exemption turns on is stated NOWHERE in the dossier. Recall and precision are reported per class and never blended, because 79.2% of the key is FAILS and an arm that answers only that scores 79.2%.

MethodHow the test was run

python3 -m evals.run --run-id <id> [--floor rules|rules-nulls]; evals/scoring.py compares strings against data/gold.jsonl. No model is in the grading path and re-scoring a cached run costs nothing — as --resume --rescore, never --rescore alone.

Every grader on these pages scored the same 60 already-recorded answers. Nothing was re-generated, so this compares rulers and not models.

The inputOne real row, and what the grader made of it

The formulaWhat it computes

The analysisWhat it actually did

In operationWhat to monitor

Reference standard: data/gold.jsonl — 60 rows, 480 verdicts. COMPUTED, never typed: tools/build_corpus.py plants the facts and their placement, src/screen.py derives every verdict, citation, claim and better-if-resolved set from the facts the dossier STATES, and the generator then asserts each planted case delivered what its name promises. evals/check_labels.py re-derives all of it with a second implementation importing no src/ module — re-run this turn on a keyless copy: no disagreement.

No true/false rates for this grader. It records 10 operating rows and not one of them carries a confusion matrix, so there is no TPR, TNR or precision to state here — this grader does not sort answers into pass and fail, and rates that were never measured are not going to be printed as though they were. What it did measure is in “What it actually did” above; what to watch is immediately below.

How tight can the band be? There is no threshold anywhere in this kit — not in the grader and not in the arms. String equality has no tolerance and set equality has no tolerance; the free floor is not a similarity matcher and has nothing to sweep. One row is 0.21 points of the 480-row denominator and one dossier is 1.67 points of the 60-dossier one, so no band finer than that is supportable and the 93.3-vs-88.3 dossier comparison is inside the noise (p = 0.549).

Cadence: Once per corpus version, and again on any change to data/rulebook.json or src/prompt.py — the schedule is rendered into the prompt AND read by every code path, so a change there changes what is being asked as well as what is being checked.

The decisionWhen to reach for it

In one lineThe whole screening record — 8 verdicts, 8 citations, the claim and the better-if-resolved set, on one dossier

whether a whole dossier's record is one a reviewer could file as written. All four graded fields, not three: an arm with eight right verdicts that cites the wrong condition has told somebody to check the wrong sentence, and an arm that names the wrong exemption to claim has picked a more expensive relief than the item is entitled to. The better-if-resolved set is graded order-insensitively and on its own 26-dossier non-empty denominator as well as on all 60.

MethodHow the test was run

The same run; the same scorer; the same key. Nothing extra is fired.

Every grader on these pages scored the same 60 already-recorded answers. Nothing was re-generated, so this compares rulers and not models.

The inputOne real row, and what the grader made of it

It records 11 operating rows and not one of them carries a confusion matrix, so there is no TPR, TNR or precision to state here — this grader does not sort answers into pass and fail, and rates that were never measured are not going to be printed as though they were. What it did measure is in “What it actually did” above; what to watch is immediately below.

How tight can the band be? No threshold. Set equality and string equality throughout; one dossier is 1.67 points.

Cadence: Same run, same cadence as the verdict grader.

The decisionWhen to reach for it

In one lineThe silence class on its own denominator — 62 rows, and the two ways an arm can get them wrong

what an arm does with a fact the dossier never states. 62 of the 480 rows are INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION, spread over 26 dossiers and 51 withheld particulars in 12 different fields. There are exactly two ways to be wrong and they are NOT equivalent: silence_as_satisfaction claims an exemption on a condition nobody established, and silence_as_failure writes off a relief the item probably has. Both are counted separately and neither is folded into the headline.

MethodHow the test was run

The same run; the same scorer; the same key.

Every grader on these pages scored the same 60 already-recorded answers. Nothing was re-generated, so this compares rulers and not models.

The inputOne real row, and what the grader made of it

The formulaWhat it computes

The analysisWhat it actually did

In operationWhat to monitor

Reference standard: The 62 INSUFFICIENT_INFORMATION rows of data/gold.jsonl, each standing on a particular withheld at GENERATION time — 51 of them across 26 dossiers. evals/check_labels.py re-confirms every one by searching the rendered dossier text for it and failing the build if it finds it: 51 asserted-absent facts, all confirmed findable nowhere, re-run this turn.

No true/false rates for this grader. It records 7 operating rows and not one of them carries a confusion matrix, so there is no TPR, TNR or precision to state here — this grader does not sort answers into pass and fail, and rates that were never measured are not going to be printed as though they were. What it did measure is in “What it actually did” above; what to watch is immediately below.

How tight can the band be? No threshold. The policy constant in evals/baseline.py is not a threshold — it is a choice between two answers, and it is worth all 62 rows.

Cadence: Same run.
