Can an agent find the number, show its provenance, and update the model?

Public financial-research questions paired with a deterministic DCF, assumptions, period-data, and review-note world.

Baseline leaderboard

Solvable, discriminating, and honest about what ran.

All companion tasks are solvable by their reference traces and reject the seeded random floor. No paid or frontier model run is claimed. The first two rows are harness controls; the model leaderboard remains open until a version-pinned submission exists.

Why these controls matter

A 100% reference ceiling shows the tasks are executable, not all failing. A 0% seeded-random floor shows the verifier does not simply reward any activity. Neither row measures model capability.

These are the four independent Blobfish diagnostic tasks in this world—not excerpts relabeled from the larger Harbor source suite.

fa_finalize_solstice_dcf

Finalise the Solstice base-case DCF (model_id 9201, company 9001). Total the free_cash_flow across every financial period belonging to company 9001 — other companies' periods do not count. Set model 9201's enterprise_value to that total and its status to 'final', mark its WACC assumption (assumption_id 9301) as status 'verified', and file the review: create a review note on model 9201 from reviewer 'Head of Research' with status 'open' and a body containing the summed cash flow.

Episode trace

Follow the tools, outputs, and verdict.

Switch between a successful reference replay and a real failing floor episode. Both start from the same immutable world state; neither is a model leaderboard row.

Reference solver

A checked-in reference trace replayed against a fresh SQLite copy. This proves the task can pass; it is not a model submission.

Environment

A stateful MCP system, not a prompt file.

6 related entity tables expose 23 read-only and 21 mutating tools. Every episode gets a fresh copy of the 116-row seed state.

MCP + CLI

Reproduce every layer locally.

Harbor preserves the upstream suite. Blobfish serves and evaluates the independent companion world. The reference policy is keyless; a model run requires an explicit provider and cost cap.

Methodology

Archipelago-shaped evaluation, with deterministic grading.

Mercor’s open-source Archipelago clarified the public contract: environment, agent runner, trajectory, and grading should be inspectable together. Blobfish already has the same layers, plus fail-closed state policies and Harbor release gates.

01

Domain source

Finance Agent Benchmark contributes the upstream evaluation contract and 50 public tasks.

02

Independent world

The companion system is domain-aligned, generated with a fixed seed, and clearly labeled as separate from the source task set.

03

Two-sided probe

All 4 tasks must pass the reference replay and reject the random floor before release evidence is generated.

04

Model publication

No model row appears without a pinned model, agent, trials, runtime, costs, trajectories, and verifier outputs.
