Evidence and limits
Finding: Predictable performance can be worth a small loss in stand-alone accuracy when final decision quality, verification cost, human skill, and mistake cost are considered.
Impact: Watch team utility as an analysis aid. Reject collapsing Breadcrumbs' separate quality, burden, authority, and recovery measures into one score.
Boundary: The utility model assumes a structured accept-or-solve interaction. Next: which variables can inform a decision without becoming a universal optimization target?
Flags: utility assumptions; structured high-stakes datasets
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
