What is a decision model?

A decision model takes state, as text or as images, plus a typed question. It returns a typed answer with probabilities rather than free text. Output types: noul (yes/no/unknown), choice, score, multi-label.

How is calibration ranked?

The calibration slice ranks the lowest ECE among models in the top quartile of accuracy, so a constant probability cannot take the slice. Brier breaks ECE ties.

Do vendor-reported decision numbers count?

Vendor-reported numbers are display-only at weight 0.
