No procedure change
WasThe previous model at standard reasoning effort.
NowA newer model reasoning harder on every step. The procedure, the policy cards and the checker are untouched.

What it did to the queue

the reviewer’s side of the loop

No measurable change to what stops. The lesson is about evidence rather than the model: a 1.4-point move needs roughly 20 runs to prove at this spread, and five will never do it.

A newer model is available. Raise it and the reasoning effort, change nothing about the procedure, and grade against the standard set before we touch any of the steps.

93.8% ±1.9 against a 92.4% ±2.0 baseline. The intervals overlap, so the 1.4-point gain is not separable at five runs. Cost per file rose nineteen cents from the higher effort.

worth running it at twelve to find out?

Probably not on its own. At this spread a 1.4-point move needs roughly 20 runs to separate, about $42. The same money spent on the step-4 change bought four points at twelve runs.

Model upgrades are cheap to adopt and expensive to prove. The bundle carries the newer model either way — the honest record is that this attempt did not demonstrate the gain.
