  • Write reference answers with the scientific reasoning behind each conclusion, mechanisms and evidence weighed.
  • Grade model output for mechanistic accuracy, evidence handling, and appropriate uncertainty.
  • Flag explanations that read fluent but get the biology wrong, the misses only a trained scientist would catch.
