How to read this Mercor evaluation
We captured Mercor's APEX-Accounting results on October 15, 2026. The table preserves 34 published configurations, their source identifiers, reasoning settings, and disclosed mean score values. These are results from Mercor's evaluation setup; we did not rerun them.
This dated source table is display only and does not enter overall or category rankings. Source configurations retain their external identity, including Pro descriptors and different effort settings.
Mean score is the percentage of rubric criteria passed; Pass@1 requires all criteria for a task to pass. The dedicated accounting page describes 160 tasks, the Loop harness, a three-attempt mean-criteria headline, and 95% task-level bootstrap intervals from 10,000 resamples. Its eight-attempt reliability description and the general methodology's four-run single-shot description differ. Three legacy scalar records omit a harness and sample count; their labels retain that missing information. This table remains separate from Ramp Accounting Bench.
The row labels retain published error margins and sample counts when supplied. Missing margins and counts remain unreported; a sample count is not used to reconstruct a task denominator. Except where the dedicated source defines an interval, the confidence level is unreported. Equal displayed scores and overlapping margins do not establish statistical ties. Capture time does not establish individual evaluation dates.
The general methodology lists expert-authored rubrics, scored criterion by criterion and a judge of LLM judge over expert rubrics. Its run-count label is k = 4. The linked result page takes precedence where its setup differs, as noted above.
Snapshot
The published APEX-Accounting (Mercor) snapshot places Opus 5.5 first at 61.80%. The third row is 1.90 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 10.10 points, so the table still separates the published systems.
34 configurations are shown for APEX-Accounting (Mercor). The benchmark falls in the Agentic category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. APEX-Accounting (Mercor) is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
