The method

Separate capability from presentation

Task correctness and perceived interaction quality need separate tests.

When to use it

  • AI interaction design or competitor evaluation.

Ask yourself

  • Does a more logical-looking answer mean a better model?

Put it into action

  • Measure success, usefulness of explanations, and user preference. Longer visible reasoning is not proof of stronger capability.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Displayed reasoning is not necessarily a faithful record of internal mechanisms.
