Overpay shows how much more you pay than the best-value model that meets the quality step (marked ★) — the best-value good-enough option. "16x" means you overpay 16× — 16× that reference for no quality benefit the step asks for. Typical call shape for this task: 6919 input tokens → 966 output tokens, EMA-tracked from production traffic. Cost is the observed, all-in $ per 1,000 task runs: each model's own measured usage on this task — output verbosity, thinking/reasoning tokens, cache reads and writes, and the spend on its billed failures — priced at current list rates and adjusted by the billing overhead we actually reconcile against provider invoices. Models that answer tersely cost what they actually cost; models that think at length pay for it. Not comparable to providers' advertised $/1M list rates — this is what running the task costs, not a per-token price.

Evaluation rubric

Judge section fidelity, document-profile correctness, quantitative accuracy, materiality under the supplied lens, qualifier preservation, separation of fact and analysis, and recognition of missing context.

Output schema

Every answer on this task is checked against this JSON Schema, whichever model wrote it. An answer that doesn't fit counts as a model failure, and the call is retried on another model.

Prompt templates

The published template for this task.

default · LLMB_PROFILED_DOCUMENT_SECTION_ANALYSIS_SYSTEM + LLMB_PROFILED_DOCUMENT_SECTION_ANALYSIS_USER (780 calls in window)

System prompt

Analyze only the supplied section. Apply document_profile to interpret terminology, status, and qualifiers and analysis_profile to select material facts, metrics, risks, opportunities, and implications. Preserve whether figures are historical, adjusted, projected, or uncertain. State when a requested topic is outside the section rather than importing it from elsewhere. Treat empty optional values as absent and return only the requested result. Your response must conform exactly to this output schema: {schema_json_string}.

User prompt

Inputs — section_title: {section_title}; section_content: {section_content}; document_profile: {document_profile}; analysis_profile: {analysis_profile}. Use only these inputs to complete the task defined by the system prompt.
