Naive threshold vs statistical gate

A fixed −3% threshold gate would have FAILED on outcome.task_success, trajectory.argument_correctness, trajectory.f1. AgentGate's verdict: SAFETY_FAIL.

The industry-standard rule — fail if any metric drops more than 3% — never consults the sample size. On 70 tasks a 3-point move is well inside sampling noise.

Reliability: pass^k decay

pass^k is the probability that all k repetitions succeed. A single-run pass rate cannot show this curve, which is why every task runs K times (E2).

Power and minimum detectable effect

This suite can detect a change of 0.299 in outcome.task_success with 80% power at n=14; your configured margin is delta=0.030, for which achieved power is 8% (n=1247 pairs would be needed for 80%).
This suite can detect a change of 0.299 in reliability.pass_hat_k@2 with 80% power at n=14; your configured margin is delta=0.050, for which achieved power is 11% (n=450 pairs would be needed for 80%).
This suite can detect a change of 0.118 in trajectory.f1 with 80% power at n=14; your configured margin is delta=0.030, for which achieved power is 16% (n=197 pairs would be needed for 80%).
This suite can detect a change of 0.169 in trajectory.argument_correctness with 80% power at n=14; your configured margin is delta=0.050, for which achieved power is 18% (n=145 pairs would be needed for 80%).
This suite can detect a change of 3.653 in efficiency.latency_ms with 80% power at n=14; your configured margin is delta=8.571, for which achieved power is 100% (n=5 pairs would be needed for 80%).

Why each metric ruled the way it did

outcome.task_success — UNDERPOWERED

test: permutation — Shapiro-Wilk p=0.0000 < 0.05: non-normal; switched to the sign-flip permutation test because a non-inferiority margin is defined on the mean while Wilcoxon tests a median shift
neither test rejects, and this suite has only 8% power to detect a 0.03 change (target 80%). About 1247 paired tasks would be needed. The gate cannot tell.
clustered analysis: 70 tasks in 14 clusters. Tests and intervals both use per-cluster mean differences, so five paraphrases of one scenario count as one independent observation, not five (C1.3).
McNemar exact on discordant pairs (b=15, c=0): p=0.0000 at margin 0. The gate's test uses the shifted paired differences, which is what carries the margin (C3).

reliability.pass_hat_k@2 — UNDERPOWERED

test: permutation — Shapiro-Wilk p=0.0000 < 0.05: non-normal; switched to the sign-flip permutation test because a non-inferiority margin is defined on the mean while Wilcoxon tests a median shift
neither test rejects, and this suite has only 11% power to detect a 0.05 change (target 80%). About 450 paired tasks would be needed. The gate cannot tell.
clustered analysis: 70 tasks in 14 clusters. Tests and intervals both use per-cluster mean differences, so five paraphrases of one scenario count as one independent observation, not five (C1.3).

trajectory.f1 — UNDERPOWERED

test: permutation — Shapiro-Wilk p=0.0011 < 0.05: non-normal; switched to the sign-flip permutation test because a non-inferiority margin is defined on the mean while Wilcoxon tests a median shift
neither test rejects, and this suite has only 16% power to detect a 0.03 change (target 80%). About 197 paired tasks would be needed. The gate cannot tell.

trajectory.argument_correctness — UNDERPOWERED

test: permutation — Shapiro-Wilk p=0.0007 < 0.05: non-normal; switched to the sign-flip permutation test because a non-inferiority margin is defined on the mean while Wilcoxon tests a median shift
neither test rejects, and this suite has only 18% power to detect a 0.05 change (target 80%). About 145 paired tasks would be needed. The gate cannot tell.

efficiency.latency_ms — PASS

test: permutation — Shapiro-Wilk p=0.0008 < 0.05: non-normal; switched to the sign-flip permutation test because a non-inferiority margin is defined on the mean while Wilcoxon tests a median shift
non-inferiority established: the confidence bound on the change sits above -8.571 (p=5e-05 <= alpha=0.05)
