Learning outcomes
- Read status values without treating them as scores
- Compare methods only across validated numeric rows
- Check denominators and missing-data policy before averaging
Beginner explanation
TBD means a value is not validated yet. N/A means the value does not apply to that case. Neither is a hidden numeric score.
A result table can still be useful before numbers exist because it defines the benchmark schema and artifact contract.
Expert checks
Averages must report denominators and exclude non-numeric rows unless a visible rule says otherwise.
Do not mix raw, aligned, smoothed, or correction-applied trajectories in one metric column.
Practice task
Pick one result row and verify its system, dataset, mode, artifact path, status, and missing-data rule.
