Outcome Residual
How close the result is to the optimal achievable — the hidden gap behind a merely-acceptable answer.
What it measures
How close the result is to the optimal achievable — the hidden gap behind a merely-acceptable answer.
Where it sits
Outcome Residual is one of the Agent pillar’s dimensions (50%of the composite). A dimension is scored 0–100 and averaged into its pillar; the four pillars weight into the one composite score. See Pillars and weights.
How it’s graded
Objective — scored deterministically from what the agent actually did on the probe, with no judgement. Every score comes from a test that actually ran — no self-report.
Improving it
This is part of the harness you build, so it's yours to improve — strengthen the step it exercises, verify the change against a re-run, then re-test to watch it move.
