PUBLIC METHODOLOGY / V0.1

Confidence is earned.

MOEModels separates what a source says, what a system measured, what the engine calculated, and what remains uncertain.

Corrections update the record without erasing its history.

01

CLAIM CLASS

Sourced fact

A directly supported value from a model card, technical report, repository, artifact, or vendor specification.

parameter count · context · license · expert topology
02

CLAIM CLASS

Measured evidence

A result produced by an identifiable configuration with raw artifacts and a repeatable methodology.

TTFT · throughput · VRAM peak · routing skew
03

CLAIM CLASS

Calculated estimate

A deterministic output whose inputs, formula, range, and conservative assumptions remain visible.

checkpoint lower bound · usable memory · topology rounding
04

CLAIM CLASS

Inference

A reasoned conclusion derived from incomplete evidence and explicitly separated from sourced or measured claims.

likely bottleneck · deployment risk · validation priority

FIT ENGINE / FIRST PRINCIPLES

The calculation begins with residency.

Fit Check uses exact tensor bytes from a pinned artifact manifest, applies a declared memory reserve, and rounds the result to whole-node topology. Runtime allocations, KV cache, activations, compatibility, throughput, latency, and cost remain unknown until measured.

01checkpoint_bytes = pinned_manifest_tensor_bytes
02usable_vram_per_gpu = advertised_vram × (1 − reserve_bps / 10,000)
03minimum_gpus = ceil(checkpoint_bytes / usable_vram_per_gpu)
04topology_gpus = ceil(minimum_gpus / gpus_per_node) × gpus_per_node

CORRECTIONS / GOVERNANCE

Visible uncertainty beats false precision.

01Version every consequential record

The model release, checkpoint, runtime, hardware, methodology, and retrieval date form a single claim context.

02Never silently merge incompatible runs

Quantization, templates, reasoning budgets, hardware, and harness versions can change the meaning of a score.

03Publish ranges before predictions

The first engine favors deterministic memory math and conservative envelopes over uncalibrated throughput claims.

04Keep sponsorship outside ranking

A vendor may support research. It cannot purchase a result, confidence class, or placement.
