Source finding
Source-reported measurements for o1-mini in Table 1; values are transcribed, not independently reproduced.
Limitations
Textual choices and grader labels do not establish executed autonomous behavior or stable deployment propensities.
Configuration, task and aggregation differences remain as reported. Source order is retained. Transcription is not independent replication; no cross-protocol ranking is supported.
