simple-scienceconditionalweight 0.5adapter 8 of 17

SimpleScience Evals.

The SimpleScience adapter runs the SimpleScience baseline: multiple-choice science questions scored deterministically. Like SimpleMath, it establishes a reasoning floor and carries a reduced weight so baseline checks corroborate rather than dominate the composite.

Counts only when its signals are present on the subject.

What it measures.

Answer accuracy

Share of multiple-choice science questions answered correctly.

Deterministic scoring

Fixed answer key, no model-judged grading.

Component keys.

simple-science.score

Normalized correctness score on the 0–100 component scale.

When it counts.

Conditional — counts when SimpleScience results exist for the subject.

When signals are missing.

Absent results leave the component missing and out of the computation.

How it contributes.

{
  "component": "simple-science.*",
  "scale": "0-100",
  "mode": "conditional",
  "weight": 0.5,
  "contribution": "component x 0.5 / total weight"
}

The adapter’s components are averaged into the composite as a weighted mean: every contributing adapter’s component is multiplied by its weight, summed, and divided by the total weight of contributing adapters. The result is published as trustScores.total with a config version and timestamp so anyone can recompute it.

Questions about SimpleScience Evals.

What does the SimpleScience adapter measure?

It measures correctness on the SimpleScience multiple-choice evaluation and normalizes it into the simple-science.score component.

How is SimpleScience different from SimpleMath?

SimpleScience covers factual, multiple-choice science questions while SimpleMath covers exact arithmetic. Both are deterministic floor checks with the same reduced weight.
