# FileDigest Benchmark Checklist

Use this checklist with a small representative packet before scaling usage or publishing claims.

## Packet

- [ ] One text-based PDF
- [ ] One OCR-heavy PDF, if OCR is enabled on the plan
- [ ] One DOCX file
- [ ] One Markdown or plain-text note
- [ ] One ZIP containing mixed supported files

## Inspect

Score each item from 0 to 2.

| Check | Score | Notes |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| Every accepted file appears in the manifest |  |  |
| Page counts are plausible for PDFs and DOCX files |  |  |
| Source IDs remain visible in the digest |  |  |
| Important tables remain readable or are clearly warned about |  |  |
| Manifest warnings explain imperfect inputs |  |  |
| Digest and manifest download through authenticated routes |  |  |
| The digest can support a defined ChatGPT, Claude, RAG, or analysis prompt |  |  |

## Self-Test Read

This score is a practical self-test heuristic, not a certified benchmark. A packet is promising when most checks score `2` and there are no privacy, access-control, or silent-data-loss failures.
