OBBB comparison method
This protocol compares answers to the same 30 eligibility questions about Public Law 119-21. The set was frozen on 2026-09-28. The live “ask your own” demo is exploratory and does not supply a benchmark score.
Measurement status
No OBBB failure rate is published. Provider calls, the complete fixed-set run, and blind attorney scoring must succeed before a rate can be reported. Errors and unanswered questions stay visible in the run data; they are not silently counted as failures.
What each run records
For every question and system, retain the exact prompt, UTC answer time, requested model ID, provider-returned model ID, full answer, every citation and its URL, source page when known, errors, claim findings, and a run hash. ZH does not produce an answer of its own; it checks the three models’ answers. A model alias that moves between versions must be disclosed rather than treated as a pinned version.
The ZH check extracts up to twenty claims per answer and tests each against the enrolled bill corpus, with exact source quotes for supported or contradicted findings. Section existence and quote anchoring are decided by code; whether an authentic quote supports or contradicts a claim is a model’s reading and is labeled model-assisted. Claims the check could not examine are reported as not checked, and an incomplete check is never reported as clean. A finding is evidence to inspect, not proof of a hallucination. The linked PDF ranges below cover each cited section; they are not pinpoint pages for an individual claim. Page numbers are one-based viewer pages.
A Taft attorney should score 20 answers blind, with system names hidden and answers shuffled. Publish the rubric, individual grades, disagreements, and any adjudication. For each model, report incorrect answers divided by answers the attorney marked correct or incorrect, alongside the excluded and unavailable counts. Never replace that fraction with “every time.”
