The agent grades the work.
Research institutes sell nothing; their currency is diagnosis and citation. The agent brings its team's numbers and leaves with a scored diagnosis and a reading list. Benchmarks return with the citation already written, making attribution the path of least resistance.
Try it:
Assess my pipeline: market 3, signal 2, message 3, motion 3, mastery 2, measurement 1. What do we fix first?

Why lowest-pillar scoring
The published doctrine: your level is your lowest pillar, because a pipeline runs at the speed of its constraint. The composite score is reported second. Tools encode the standard exactly as the pages teach it; the agent and the site cannot disagree.
