Built with 250-plus industry experts, ALE evaluates agents on 960 expert-authored, deterministically-scored workflows across 55 industries. Agents average 26% across all tiers but 2.6% on the "last-exam" tier. The kicker: Codex with GPT-5.5 scores 82% on Terminal-Bench and 0% on Last-Exam tasks. The next time someone says agents are "job-ready," this is the number to quote back. (arXiv 2606.05405)
