A new benchmark called C-SUITEBENCH has been developed to test the decision-making capabilities of multimodal large language models in executive business scenarios. The benchmark, which includes both text-only and multimodal conditions across 50 scenarios and five decision tasks, found that while visual inputs generally improve reasoning, particularly in risk forecasting and board justification, they paradoxically degrade performance in constrained resource allocation tasks for all nine tested frontier models. This suggests that combining visual information can lead to signal crowding and disrupt constraint satisfaction, highlighting a need for selective grounding strategies in future executive AI systems.
