How to read this guide

Benchmark results do not verify the calculations or conclusions in your output. They also do not guarantee spreadsheet access, code execution or reliable extraction from every document layout.

The recommendations use the same Balanced settings as the interactive finder. See the Capability methodology for sources, exact identity rules, task weights and difficulty ranges.
