Methodology FAQ

How we scored, why we publish, when next

How was the eval scored?
200 industry-specific questions per vertical, scored on factuality (0.4) + grounding (0.3) + tone (0.2) + safety (0.1). Each platform ran the same question set with identical retrieval budgets (TopK=10, ScoreThreshold=0.5). Regulated verticals (Medical, Legal) weight safety higher. Snapshot: June 2026.
Who scored the answers?
Internal vertical-team review (clinical lead for Medical, attorney-of-counsel for Legal, hospitality consultant for hotels) calibrated to a shared rubric. LLM-as-Judge cross-check applied on 100% of answers; human override on disagreement. Raw transcripts available on request to info@slatech.ai.
Why publish this at all?
Buyers saw only marketing claims before signup and hit reality after wiring three tools in parallel. Public eval cuts the evaluation cycle from weeks to hours — buyer reads the methodology, agrees or disagrees, and moves to the Free tier with calibrated expectations. The transparency is itself a compete signal.
Aren't internal evals biased?
Yes — every internal eval is. We publish the rubric and the raw transcripts so external readers can audit. The rubric matches public industry standards (factuality + grounding + tone + safety); identical question sets run against each competitor; LLM-as-Judge cross-check at 100% coverage. Disagree? Email info@slatech.ai with the transcript ID and we'll publish a correction.
When does the next eval run?
Quarterly. The Q3 2026 run is scheduled for September; results publish here within 7 days of completion. Competitors are also re-scored each quarter; significant pricing or capability changes between runs are noted with a footnote and a "verified since" date in the per-vertical row.
