DRACO checks a research report against ~40 expert criteria per question: factual accuracy (are the specific claims right?) and breadth and depth (does it synthesize them into trade-offs and a real conclusion, or just list them?).
We ran Nimble, Exa, Parallel, and OpenAI against the DRACO Benchmark, scoring each system against expert-defined. ground truth criteria. See the full methodology.

This custom benchmark measures the success rate (% of webpages that were accessed) and completeness (% of returned webpage data for each url) for each webpage extraction tool.
We ran Nimble, Exa, Parallel, Firecrawl, and Open AI against 5,856 urls across 2,107 domains. Every engine extracts the same URLs on its default config, graded locally with no LLM judge against verbatim ground truth.
