A fair test for this pair

Use a mixed set of long documents, diagrams, and repository tasks; score citation accuracy separately from task completion.

Bottom line: use reported results to form a hypothesis, then make the decision with representative private tasks. Missing scores remain missing; no composite winner is manufactured.
