Hedge-Bench - Competitive Positioning: leaderboard
Hedge-Bench 1.0 (Trata, 2026) tests agents on 102 open-ended financial-analyst research tasks built from recorded hedge fund analyst discussions, run with the Terminus 2 agent over a sandboxed document corpus and graded by an LLM judge against the expert analysts rubric moves. This board is the mean dense rubric score (0 to 4, where 4 needs full theme coverage plus a synthesis of conflicting evidence) on the competitive positioning tasks; higher is better.
Metric: Macro dense mean rubric score (out of 4) on the Competitive Positioning task category: each trial scores 0 to 4 by the themes it covers, 4 only with full coverage plus a synthesis that reconciles conflicting evidence, averaged within each task and then over the tasks where the model had a valid run; 102 open-ended financial-analyst research tasks derived from recorded expert analyst discussions, run in the Harbor harness with the Terminus 2 agent over a sandboxed document corpus, eight trials per task, graded by a Gemini-3.1-Pro judge against expert rubric moves with hallucination-supported moves discounted; higher is better.
