## Standings by engine
On the rank axis, a better rank sits further left.
estimand: probe-design mention rate over Luce grammar luce-live-v0, rank-range only; not demand-weighted · 30 prompts per cell (the exact quantity published on this surface)
SoVGapPrecision (board lens) All cells shown. Gold marks the top rate on that engine, and every brand tied with it. Grey marks a brand measured too imprecisely to rank this wave. The bracket and label show the same rank range. No cell diverges beyond its intervals this wave. Dashed cells carry a low precision tag: measured, with intervals too wide to rank this wave. Every cell stays readable.
