Each test is LLM-judged 0–20 against a fixed rubric; suite max = tests × 20. An ADJ chip marks a cell carrying a subjective adjustment from the maintainer; the judged score is the one shown, is unchanged, and remains what the axes, ranks and tie bands are computed from. Hover for the reason. Rows with a ▶ expand to the per-test breakdown. Where fewer tests ran than the suite total, unrun tests count as zero toward the axis score. See methodology.
