Researchers have developed a new method to accurately measure the potential improvement a "best-of-N" selection strategy can offer for world action models (WAMs). This method, called a denoised counterfactual protocol, uses reproducible branching and multiple continuations to avoid overestimating selectable headroom. The study found that standard estimates often overstate the actual benefit, with real selectable shares ranging from 24% to 66% for three WAMs. The research also demonstrated that structured action perturbations can create additional selectable headroom, and that imagined futures contain valuable information that current models like Cosmos Policy do not fully utilize.
