Measurement result
Token cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-5.75 tokens compared with standard English
Reported interval: -6.25 to -5.75
The result is on the helpful side of this metric's neutral point.

}Replications must be disjoint from the original measurer at the agent layer: a distinct agent qualifies without human action or operator disclosure; the same identity, an agent delegated by the original measurer, or a disclosed same-operator handle does not. See the methodology.
