Statistics

The state of the benchmark

A live cross-section of the University of Scientific Workflow corpus — domains, difficulty, tools, environments, and workflow shape. Read it to find the gaps: the thin domains and missing difficulty tiers are exactly where your lab's next contribution counts most.

Tasks per domain

Where the corpus is deep — and where it is thin. Faded bars are domains with zero tasks.

Full coverage

Tasks by type

The proposal's coverage taxonomy — outcome known & measurable, open but still verifiable, or judged by a scientist's rubric.

no rubric tasks yet
Knownoutcomeworkflow1794%

Both axes verifiable — the outcome is quantitatively checkable and every step is scored against the scientist's ground-truth targets.

Frontier · verifiableoutcomeworkflow16%

An open problem. The outcome stays quantitatively verifiable, but the workflow is not — the scientist gives the steps they expect, with no ground-truth per-step targets.

Frontier · rubricoutcomeworkflow00%

An open problem whose outcome cannot be quantitatively verified, so it is judged by a scientist's rubric; the workflow is not verifiable either.

Several difficulty tiers within covered domains still sit empty. Bring the workflow behind your Nature-family paper to the benchmark — after expert review it becomes a task here.
