|
| This dataset measures whether 4 Claude models can do 10 pieces of SaaS arithmetic (MRR, ending cash, LTV, runway) with every tool taken away. |
|
|
| Headline, from the repository: exact answers were 10 / 10 for claude-opus-5, 9 / 10 for claude-sonnet-5, 3 / 10 for claude-haiku-4-5 and 9 / 10 for claude-fable-5; all 4 models were within 1% on 10 / 10 (RESULTS.md). |

| ## Files |
|
|
| | path | what it is | |
| |---|---| |
| | `results.json` | every call: tasks with expected values computed in code, and one row per model and task under `rows` | |
| | `transcript.md` | every question and every full reply | |
| | `RESULTS.md` | the result tables | |
|
|
| ## How it was produced |
|
|
| Run on 2026-08-16 through the Claude Code CLI with built in tools and MCP servers disabled. Tasks are generated from seed 20260812, ground truth is computed in `run.ts` and never by a model, and the answering model is verified against `modelUsage`. The scripts that turn these files into every number are in the GitHub repository. One local path in `results.json` is written as `<private-project>`. Nothing else was edited. |
