Phase 6 — Evidence ranking

JEV versus lexical on the same 40 Real-World v1 cases. This phase measures candidate ordering, not generated answer quality.

Scope. 51 passages, 40 cases, 200 candidate records. Relevance judgments are developer-authored and have not received independent human review. The 8-case exposed_test split is not blind.

Paired bootstrap 95% intervals (40 cases): MAP +0.166 [0.089, 0.250], MRR +0.172 [0.092, 0.261], P@1 +0.300 [0.175, 0.450]. Recall@5 is saturated on both arms, so the gain is about ranking position, not whether a good passage appears.

JEV scoring cost

76,184 measured input tokens across 200 calls, 0 failures. Typesafe Jev 1.14 list price (docs.typesafe.ai/models, retrieved 2026-11-06): $0.042 per million input tokens, output free.

estimated_usd = (76,184 / 1,000,000) × 0.042 = $0.003199728 — an estimate, not an invoice (invoiced_usd = null).
