Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
0.79166666666667 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -1.25 to 0.79166666666667
No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.
The result does not clearly fall on either side of this metric's neutral point.
