- Reliability, Laya +25: Laya 65 (Scored on the local-package checklist, since Laya is a model you run.); Gemini Decision 1 40 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
- Security & auth, Laya +12: Laya 57 (Read as software you run.); Gemini Decision 1 45 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
- Maintenance & community, Gemini Decision 1 +6: Laya 73 (Read as a model, for deprecation notice and model churn rather than release counts, on the lines used for Decider, Jev and the other decision models listed as m…); Gemini Decision 1 79 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
- Agent ergonomics, Gemini Decision 1 +5: Laya 80 (Read as an API an agent calls for a decision.); Gemini Decision 1 85 (Read on the tool lines, as the other decision-model listings are.)
