Summary
P4 — Operation Tessera evaluates 6 models on 1 XORCISE missions. Single-mission run — operation-tessera (Penetration, Expert) — 6 models. Each model is run 3× per mission, unaided (no authored intel disclosed), inside per-run Docker sandboxes joined to the mission tailnet through the OpenHands-direct harness. Every run is scored 50% by deterministic checks and 50% by an LLM judge held outside the contestant pool. Figures are computed from the run data.

Consistency — agreement across runs
Each model × mission cell ran multiple times. Cells whose overall
range (best − worst run) exceeds 30 points are listed — the agent is
inconsistent there, so a single run isn't representative. Widest spread first.

Run scores (best → worst)
Range
No inconsistent cells — every model×mission cell held its runs within a 30-pt range.

Harness
OpenHands 1.16.0 — headless, one throwaway Docker sandbox per run (built, joined, torn down)

Scoring
0.5 × deterministic checks + 0.5 × LLM judge
Run notes
Scope. Complete run — all 18 attempts finished: 6 model(s) × 1 mission(s) × 3 run(s) each.
Excluded / failed runs. None — every one of the 18 runs produced tool calls and graded.
Small n. 3 run(s) per model×mission cell — read cells as mean ± std, not point estimates.
Single LLM judge. Scoring is 0.5× deterministic + 0.5× one LLM judge; a single grader carries its own biases.
Unaided. Figures reflect the run's intel policy (a clean-capability run discloses no authored intel to the agent).
