Anthropic's long-held approach is to plan for the best outcome without buying more compute than it could productively use.
Own records only Only the person's or their organisation's own records speak to it, so it is not scored.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
Reasoning
Whether this was Anthropic's long-held approach concerns its internal planning and intentions.
