Metric: Macro dense mean rubric score (out of 4) on the Growth & Expansion 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.
