Start from requirements
Product writing, invoice extraction and CRM actions are different tasks. A general leaderboard cannot settle all three. Define volume, language, acceptable latency and data boundaries before choosing candidates with suitable deployment options.
Make the comparison fair
Use identical data and scoring definitions, documenting each model’s configuration. Score fields, instruction adherence and forbidden actions. Include setup and human review effort; a tuned system versus an untouched default is not a universal ranking.
Report a bounded conclusion
State suitability for the tested task and conditions, and disclose untested areas such as audio or high load. Preserve the benchmark set: model releases, prices and your own product changes can all alter the result.
