The author argues that these demos showcase diverse capabilities, from game development to 3D printing, and require task-specific criteria for assessment. The proposed matrix includes evidence levels (E0-E4) based on inspectability and separate score families for completion, process, artifact quality, and reproducibility, drawing inspiration from NIST's AI RMF guidance.

IMPACT Suggests a framework for evaluating AI capabilities beyond simple benchmarks, potentially guiding future development and assessment.
