Scores are from Assistant Benchmark by David Pawlan (version 0.2, updated September 29, 2026): one published task per area, scored 1 to 10 after real use (how they score). NetShow read their public pages on September 30, 2026 and did not run these tests itself. Descriptions are NetShow's own words.
