- Reliability, Decision 3.0 +21: Decision 3.0 61 (Scored on the local-package checklist, since Decision 3.0 is a model the owner runs, as for Vela 2.0, Kev and Decider.); Gemini Decision 1 40 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
- Transparency & trust, Gemini Decision 1 +19: Decision 3.0 51 (Apache-2.0 for the weights and runtime, on Apache-2.0 Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.8 bases, with a NOTICE in each repository.); Gemini Decision 1 70 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
- Agent ergonomics, Gemini Decision 1 +13: Decision 3.0 72 (Read as an API an agent calls for a decision, as with Vela, Decider and Kev.); Gemini Decision 1 85 (Read on the tool lines, as the other decision-model listings are.)
- Schema & documentation, Gemini Decision 1 +10: Decision 3.0 70 (Read for a model the owner serves.); Gemini Decision 1 80 (Model reading for gemini-decision-1 on the Gemini API's Decisions endpoint.)
