Dividing by 1.4736 when the rate required multiplication is the example that settled it for me, a perfect evaluation of the wrong operation. I expected low effort plus tools to be the budget answer, and your 2.15x token multiplier for 92% against 96% at plain high effort reads the opposite way. Did the nine puzzles the calculator flipped from correct to wrong share anything, like the extra tool turns burying an original constraint?
