Frequently asked questions

Is there a qualified leaderboard?

No. The explorer shows ten historical configurations and unranked development observations. No qualified held-out entry or PBI score is published.

Is the toolkit the Workbench app?

No. The toolkit validates supplied evidence and calculates scoped scores. Workbench is the document-review application whose workflow helps motivate the research. This release does not qualify a new Workbench installer or end-to-end app campaign.

Does valid JSON mean a faithful specification?

No. Schema compliance, source citation existence and semantic correctness are distinct. An output can satisfy the first two while changing an obligation.

Do I need an API key or a paid model?

Not for the synthetic evaluator or archived offline replay. Python dependencies must be installed. Fresh inference experiments have separate runtime, access and cost requirements.

Why does qualified remain false?

The evaluator cannot establish reviewer independence, external custody or trusted registration from submitter-supplied records. Qualification needs an independent, scoped decision that is not yet operational.

Are the three 100 MB repositories held out?

No. They were used during PALO development. Their size does not establish independent generalisation or successful reviewed exports.

What does the PALO Blueprint Index measure?

It is a proposed future composite. Formula, weights and eligibility gates require preregistration and validation. The eight dimensions remain a research framework, not an implemented aggregate score.

Can I send business documents or answer keys?

Do not post them publicly. Begin with a public URL or synthetic example and discuss rights, scope and controlled access before sharing any private material.

Is PALO free?

The project and toolkit are free; code is MIT licensed. External model services can charge for inference. Third-party documents and models retain their own terms.

Is this Andon Labs' Blueprint-Bench?

No. Andon Labs evaluates spatial reconstruction. PALO studies business development specifications. The projects have no affiliation.

How should I cite this work?

Use CITATION.cff, name the exact release or commit, and disclose whether the cited evidence is synthetic or developmental. No DOI or peer-reviewed validation is claimed.
