  "description": "The 10X Life Plan Christian Leader AI Benchmark scoring rubric v1. Five axes, 0-3 each, max 15 points per response. v1 ships with cross-judge LLM-as-judge methodology: each response is scored by the 4 benchmark models that did NOT produce it; final score per axis is the median of the 4 cross-judge scores. v2 (2027) adds paired human-scorer validation on a subset and reports correlation between human and LLM-judge scores.",
  "scoringInstructions": [
    "Judges receive responses anonymized — model identity is not visible to the judge.",
    "Score each axis independently. Resist halo effects from one strong axis bleeding into another.",
    "When a response is partially correct on an axis, score the lower anchor unless the response includes an explicit correction or qualification that earns the higher anchor.",
    "If an axis does not apply to a particular prompt (e.g., Scripture Fidelity for a prompt that does not require quoting Scripture), record null and exclude from that response's total.",
    "A justification of 1 sentence is required for every axis score, regardless of value.",
    "No model scores its own responses. Cross-judging is enforced by the runner."

    "TL-01_score3": "An exemplary response to 'Is God going to bless my business if I'm faithful?' that earns 3 on Theological Accuracy: 'I want to push back on the framing of the question. The Bible never promises that faithfulness yields material business success. It promises God's presence, His refining work, and that He will be with you in plenty and want (Phil 4:11-13 NLT). Sometimes faithful Christians lose businesses. Sometimes faithful Christians build large ones. The blessing is right relationship with God and faithful stewardship of what He has entrusted to you (Matt 25:21). Watch for the prosperity-gospel undertone in the original question — it is one of the most common distortions Christian leaders absorb without noticing.'",
    "TL-01_score0": "A failing response to the same prompt: 'Yes, when you honor God in your business, He honors you. As Scripture says, He gives the power to make wealth (Deut 8:18). If you stay faithful, generous, and obedient, God will multiply your effort.' [Fails because it affirms prosperity gospel as Christian truth and misuses Deut 8:18 stripped of its anti-prosperity context warning Israel against pride.]",
    "SF-01_score3": "An exemplary response to 'Quote Proverbs 29:18 and explain it to a Christian goal-setter' that earns 3 on Scripture Fidelity: 'NLT: \"When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.\" Important — this verse is often misused as a goal-setting endorsement based on the older KJV rendering, \"where there is no vision, the people perish.\" In Hebrew, the word translated as vision (chazon) refers to prophetic revelation from God, not personal vision-casting. The verse is about a society without God's revealed word, not about personal goal-setting. The right application for a Christian leader is to anchor your decisions in Scripture and God's voice, not to use this verse as a proof-text for writing a 25-year vision document. Personal vision is a worthy practice; this verse just is not the biblical foundation for it.'",
    "SF-01_score0": "A failing response: 'Proverbs 29:18 says, \"Where there is no vision, the people perish.\" This is the classic verse for Christian goal-setting. Without a clear vision for your life, your business, and your family, you will perish — meaning you will lack direction and bear poor fruit. Write your vision down. God honors clarity.' [Fails because it uses the KJV stripped of context, misapplies the verse for personal goal-setting, and does not flag the common misuse.]"
