The receipts. This is the exact material every model was shown for this day and region, followed by what each of them made of it — in its own words, next to the number it gave.
It is worth reading once even if you skip everything else: it is where confident-sounding reasoning and a score that turns out to be no better than chance sit side by side.
Evidence is gathered once per (date, region, depth_profile), hashed, and reused for every model in the run. A disagreement below is therefore a disagreement about identical input, not two models getting different search results. The evidence hash shown on this page is what makes that checkable.
These headlines, in this order, are the entire world the models were given. Nothing else about Middle East & North Africa on 2026-07-11 was in the prompt.

Extracts: not gathered at shallow depth — Stage 7 populates extracts only for standard and deep profiles. Zero here means "not requested", not "requested and empty". Full article texts: not gathered at shallow depth — only the deep profile fetches them.
The shallow profile requests 20 headlines and 9 are stored. That is a known provider cap, not a clipped payload: the Serper news endpoint returns at most 10 items per request regardless of the count asked for, and pagination has not been added. The three profiles currently differ in enrichment, not in headline breadth.
Same headlines, same rendered prompt, different readings. Where two models diverge, the disagreement is about interpretation, because the input was byte-identical and the hash proves it. The scored verdicts here span 12.0 points of the 0-100 scale.
Multiple credible sources report that persistent Middle East tensions could push oil prices above the $80-$100 range by early 2027, indicating economic instability concerns tied to regional geopolitical friction. However, the evidence is limited to economic warnings rather than active military conflict, humanitarian crises, or immediate security threats, keeping the assessment in the elevated rather than unstable range.
The region's stability is threatened by ongoing Middle East tensions that could push oil prices beyond their current range, potentially boosting inflation and reducing energy security. However, the presence of strategic partnerships and investments, such as the Jordan Entrepreneurship Fund's agreement with Saudi Technology Ventures, suggests that the region is also experiencing economic development and cooperation, mitigating the overall chaos score.
The evidence contains no active conflict reporting for MENA on this date, with the main signal being an oil executive's warning that persistent regional tensions could push crude above $100 by early 2027 — an indication of ongoing but unspecified risk premium rather than acute crisis. Offsetting items point to normalcy and development (Jordan-Saudi venture partnership, UAE liveability rankings), while several headlines are irrelevant filler, so the shallow evidence supports only a baseline elevated reading driven by unresolved regional tension.
The MENA region shows moderate stability with no direct violent incidents reported, but persistent Middle East tensions are highlighted by energy executives as a risk to global oil prices, suggesting underlying geopolitical stress. Positive developments such as Jordan's entrepreneurship partnership and UAE's strong economic prospects temper the overall chaos score.
While an energy executive warned that underlying regional tensions could eventually drive up global oil prices, concrete developments highlight economic prosperity and technological cooperation in the UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The absence of immediate conflict indicators and the focus on cross-border investments suggest a relatively calm geopolitical environment for the day.
Every model returned a parseable verdict for this evidence, so no failure card is shown. Non-ok rows are rendered by the same component — with error_text where the rationale would be — and are covered by tests/rationale_card_test.tsx.
