Highlights

  • Evaluates 22 hosted decision models and two prompted general models as classifiers for a multi-rule policy engine.
  • Uses a synthetic dataset of 2,643 tool calls labeled blind against 28 rules, with a sealed holdout.
  • Explicit boundaries as examples and counterexamples raised recall by 5.5-26.1 percentage points on all 23 available models.
  • Jev 1.14's recall rose from 89.3% to 98.2%, and unnecessary interruptions fell from 30.6% to 4.8% of 252 clean actions.
  • With examples, Jev 1.14's median latency was 120 ms at $0.46 per thousand requests.
