# EMBERBench methodology

EMBERBench evaluates step-by-step decisions in simulated fire evacuations. Recorded runs are replayed and verified before scoring. EMBER is a family-balanced composite of safety and execution quality, not a survival percentage.

This website publishes public-development results only. Models may train or tune against the environment. The snapshot has one trial per model, so descriptive differences do not establish a statistically significant winner. No official hidden-test result or submission service is offered.
