BENCHMARK · THE STARTER SUITE
What we
measure.
The durable, sector-agnostic jobs a business actually needs done. Each is a fixed test packet, graded the same way every run, so a model change is measured, not a surprise.
THE PROBLEM · PUBLIC BENCHMARKS
On one public number, the frontier looks interchangeable.
PinchBench runs frontier models as live agents and scores success rate. Here is where the field lands.
PinchBench · Success Rate

THE REVEAL · A FRONTIER FOR EVERY TASK
The frontier moves with the job.
Score the same field on each of your six workflows. Two things move: how high the models land, and how good is good enough.

ALL SIX AT ONCE
Every workflow draws a different frontier.
ILLUSTRATIVE SCORES 0 TO 100 · PASS BAR SET BY THE COST OF AN UNREVIEWED ERROR · REAL FIGURES COME FROM A LIVE RUN ON YOUR DATA
The produced document, plan, or asset is scored for quality and correctness.
The end state is executed in a sandbox and checked against a known-good result, with audit logs.

HOW IT IS SCORED
One rubric. Hard gates on top.
The score measures usefulness; the gates stop a high average from hiding an unacceptable failure. A case passes only if every gate passes.
