## Measured quality

95,0% median strict-span F1 across 15 locales for ShinrAI 1.3. Business and clinical letters; 200 texts per locale. Strict entity spans. Hebrew beta is included. Model-only evaluation by Innovius, not a service-wide accuracy guarantee.

Same 27-message chat-attack set, using overlap matching. Small sample; scores cannot be compared directly with the strict-span locale evaluation. Azure preview leads this set. Versions and run details are on the benchmark board.

- ShinrAI 1.3: 84,9 overlap-span F1.
- Azure GA: 81,1 overlap-span F1.
- Azure preview: 88,8 overlap-span F1.
- Presidio: 75,6 overlap-span F1.
- GLiNER2: 74,3 overlap-span F1.
