## Runtime Stability
- System runs must sustain operation beyond the first second; early termination within ~1s is a failure condition.

## Performance Analysis
- Performance gap analysis includes archon's KV quantization as a potential factor.
- Evaluation uses index-lite metric for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next.
- Composite index scores should be calculated and compared alongside individual model scores.

## Reference Baselines
- Agentic fine-tune evaluation: Qwen3-6-27B serves as the primary comparison baseline.
- General capability evaluation: Qwen3.6 27B is to be evaluated against Claude Haiku 5-5.
- Benchmark reference comparison target: qwen-flash-next.
- In fair fight comparison, archon underperforms relative to reference.
