Model: GPT-5.4-mini (reasoning_effort="medium"), grounded by retrieved documents from provider

Scoring: Accuracy (correct answers ÷ total questions), graded by GPT-4.1-mini using official SealQA prompt

Normalization: Comparable document length across providers

Retrieval: max 10 documents per query
