Evidence data

Reader-safe data behind our AI workflow tests.

These CSVs summarize the testing database that powers our public evidence logs. They intentionally exclude internal artifact paths, email/password recovery notes, private screenshots, and any account credentials.

Tools tracked

59

Meeting assistants, AI website builders, AI presentation tools, customer-support chatbots, admin-routine tools, email assistants, spreadsheet assistants, SOP/workflow assistants, weekly-status/reporting assistants, performance-review assistants, and invoice/receipt assistants in the current evidence database.

Test scenarios

20

Repeatable synthetic fixtures with answer keys or expected-output requirements.

Run records

129

Public-doc checks, signup/import recon, blockers, pending evidence-pack rows, and scored output runs.

Scored quality runs

39

Only complete generated-output evidence is scored; pending and setup-friction rows are not quality scores.

How to read the public data

Setup friction is not a recommendation.

Rows marked as setup friction document what blocked the test environment: signup challenges, OAuth-only login, unclear import routes, or file-picker limits. They do not measure the quality of a tool's generated transcript, summary, website, or export.

Quality scores require output artifacts.

We only publish a weighted score when a run has saved raw output, screenshots or text evidence, a completed run note, and rubric entries. Blank scores are deliberate, not missing endorsements.

Private details stay private.

The downloadable CSVs are sanitized from the internal operator database: no credential notes, no reset URLs, no account passwords, and no private screenshot paths. Public playbook pages carry the reader-facing context.

Current run-status mix

Status groupRunsMeaning
scored_output39Usable generated output exists and was scored against the scenario rubric.
setup_friction42Signup, upload, OAuth/SSO, security-filter, password-handling, or import-path friction was observed before usable fixture output existed.
availability_research10Official public docs/pricing/help pages were checked; hands-on output is still pending.
blocked_by_public_docs5Official docs made the current upload/private-fixture/no-spend test unsuitable.
pending33Waiting for a safe account/tool path or public-doc availability pass before reader-reproducible testing.

Live evidence logs using this data

AI productivity paradox setup-friction study

Uses the public evidence-data counts to show where AI tools lose time before they save it: setup friction, prompt echo, import/export boundaries, and blank-score discipline before output quality is measured.

AI website builder evidence log

Compares a local-service website fixture across AI website builders. Hostinger currently has a scored private-draft output; Squarespace, Durable, and Wix are setup-friction evidence only.

Free AI website-builder limits guide

Condenses existing website-builder evidence into a reader-facing boundary table for no-signup claims, private drafts, code export/download, free hosted domains, custom domains, and publish gates.

AI admin routine evidence log

Tracks prompt-only admin-routine candidates, connector/privacy boundaries, and the messy-inbox checks required before any final ranking. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Duck.ai, Gemini, and Mistral Le Chat / Vibe now have scored prompt-only baselines; Qwen Studio, Grok, Kimi K2, Meta AI, You.com, HuggingChat, and other gated/blocked tools remain unscored until complete raw outputs are saved.
