Rankings
Each test ranks the models by full cost per task: the model's price, the time a person spends checking its work and the mistakes that still get through. Each model is run the cheapest way its accuracy allows.
Ranked on the default assumptions: 10,000 statements a month, $55 an hour and 25% of fee errors becoming a real loss. To use your own, see the Test 1 page.
| Rank | Model | How it runs | Fees wrong | Full cost per statement | Cost a year |

How the ranking works
Each model is costed three ways: used as is, with spot checks on 1 task in 10, or with a person checking every task. A way is only allowed if the model's error rate is under that way's threshold, and the model is ranked on the cheapest way it's allowed. A model that's wrong too often for any of them is listed as not acceptable.
Full costs aren't added across tests, because a statement and a reconciliation aren't the same unit. Once two tests are published, an overall view will cost a typical firm's mix of tasks for a year. The full method is on the method page.
