Candidate-specific PoC

Test the remaining uncertainty

Claude Code · Under the same fixed task set, what is Claude Code's measured cost per accepted change and how often does a usage limit interrupt work?

Why this candidate needs the test: Buyer-specific measured performance

What to measure: task acceptance rate, elapsed minutes, human interventions, failed or invalid runs, estimated usage cost, policy exceptions

What counts as failure: Before execution, the buyer must declare a numeric acceptance threshold for task success, maximum elapsed time, maximum human interventions, maximum cost and zero tolerance for prohibited policy actions.

Repeat: 5 controlled runs.

Cannot prove: This test cannot prove contractual SLA, future vendor behavior, universal performance, or operation outside the tested plan, model, repository and environment.

Decision boundary

This narrows a PoC. It does not make the final purchase decision.

Public evidence cannot establish buyer-specific performance, negotiated terms, or future vendor behavior.
