Each current step inherits the earliest source found by repeatedly following title-attributed origins through preceding rounds. “Introduced by” means first found in this run by the heuristic, not proof of authorship, semantic originality or causal influence.

Chart element Meaning
Round groupsReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 One group per recorded proposal round, followed by Selected plan when available. The last group repeats the winning proposal; it is not an extra round.
One bar per proposalReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Height is the number of steps in that proposal. The total is printed above it.
Colour below the bar / agent numberReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Identifies who wrote that proposal.
Solid bottom segmentReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Steps traced to introductions by the proposal's own author slot.
Lighter segments aboveReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Steps traced to introductions by other agent slots, coloured according to the legend.
LegendReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Agent identities, provider/model labels and settings. Colours identify participants, not performance.
Segment popoverReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of attributed steps out of the proposal total, their step numbers/titles and introducing agent. Click to keep it open.
Horizontal panReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Drag or scroll horizontally when many agents/rounds exceed the available width.

A proposal authored by one model can contain many steps attributed to others. Conversely, the same conceptual idea may be counted as several new introductions after title changes.

Contributions table: every column

Column Exact count and limits
AgentReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Agent slot shown with its latest recorded proposal ID/model/settings. A badge marks the slot that authored the selected final proposal.
Steps of the selected plan it introducedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of current selected-plan steps whose traced origin belongs to this agent. The “of N” denominator is plan size; listed step numbers locate them. This counts plan positions, not distinct source ideas.
Steps introducedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of step coordinates that are their own origin: all round-0 steps plus later steps with no qualifying preceding source. Coordinates are (round, agent slot, step number).
Copied by othersReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Count of current steps assigned to this agent's preceding proposal in cross-agent transitions, across all refinements. It credits the immediate source, even if that source originally borrowed the step. Multiple recipients and rounds can count the same lineage repeatedly.
Survived to the final roundReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of distinct original step coordinates introduced by this agent that remain in any final proposal. Copies across several final proposals count once. It is not restricted to the winner.
Ideas taken from itReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of analyst taken list entries naming this source agent across analysed refinements. These are idea-list occurrences, not deduplicated concepts or matched steps.
Ideas rejectedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Same aggregation for analyst rejected entries. It is not a negative quality score for the source agent.
Declared adoptedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Number of adopted idea-list entries in legacy notes received from other proposals. A dash means the run lacks these declarations.
Declared rejectedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Same for rejected entries in legacy notes. Absence of notes is not zero observed rejection.
Votes receivedReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Saved valid votes for the agent's final-round proposal. Earlier contributions do not themselves receive votes.

Rows are sorted by selected-plan contribution descending, then copied count descending, then agent number. Table ordering is not an overall model ranking. One source step can be reused by multiple current steps, so selected-plan counts can differ from the number of distinct surviving introductions.

The efficiency charts use proposal calls only, initial plus refinements. Voting and post-run analysis are excluded because they do not produce proposal steps. Model time is the sum of those call durations.

Element Calculation and reading
Cost per surviving step, solid barReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Agent's recorded proposal-call cost divided by its number of distinct introduced steps surviving anywhere in the final round. Lower is cheaper on this proxy.
Cost per introduced step, light barReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 The same cost divided by every introduction attributed to that agent.
Surviving steps per minute, solid barReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Distinct surviving introductions divided by summed proposal-call seconds / 60. Higher is more output on this proxy.
Introduced steps per minute, light barReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 All attributed introductions divided by summed proposal-call minutes.
Bar lengthReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Relative scale within that chart; cost and time charts have separate scales. Cost rows sort cheapest surviving step first; time rows sort highest surviving throughput first.
Value / small step labelReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Rounded ratio plus denominator/context (“surviving” or “introduced”).
Row popoverReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 Agent/model/settings, proposal-call count, total recorded proposal cost, summed time, introduced and surviving counts.
Dash / absent chartReviewed E 0.1.5 · A 0.1.4 · R 0.1.16 A required price, nonzero step denominator or duration is unavailable. If no agent has usable values for an entire measure, its chart is omitted.

These measures describe expenditure per title-attributed step, not expenditure per correct idea. A model can produce many small steps or preserve weak material. Compare the underlying proposals before using an efficiency ratio as a client-facing benefit claim.
