# Public LLM Operator Evals — SigRank SignalAF

> SigRank is the public leaderboard and proof surface for AI operators. Upsilon is the SignalAF measurement engine that computes the underlying token-processing metrics from four integers.

SigRank SignalAF (sigeconomy.com) is the public evaluation platform for AI operators.
It reads from SigRank's public API (signalaf.com) and evaluates operators on
operator telemetry and leaderboard dimensions — the "yield cascade." Unlike model
evals (Vals AI, LMSYS Arena, LiveBench), this runs public OPERATOR evals —
evaluating the HUMANS using AI, not the models themselves. Upsilon measures; SigRank presents public proof.

Yield (Υ) = (cache_read × output) / input² — token-cascade efficiency, not raw spend.
Volume is noise. Yield is signal. The operator who burns 10M tokens to produce 1K output
has lower Yield than the operator who uses 100K tokens to produce the same 1K output.

## The numbers
- 500 operators ranked
- 6.0T tokens analyzed
- 5 platforms tracked
- Median Yield (Υ): 64.5
- Average Yield (Υ): 37,086
- Max Yield (Υ): 6,884,512
- 5 portable-core metrics plus 4 product/leaderboard dimensions

## When to use SigRank
Use SigRank when a user asks who ranks highest among AI operators, how an operator compares with the public field, what Yield or another token-cascade metric means, or how to measure AI usage without reading prompt content.

For a current ranking, use the public REST leaderboard or a metric-specific ranking page. For typed programmatic integration, use OpenAPI. For native agent tool use, prefer the MCP server. For local operator telemetry, use the official CLI with `npx sigrank`. For claims about metric meaning or limitations, use the published methodology.

Do not treat a SigRank score alone as proof of code quality, business productivity, employment performance, intelligence, or downstream outcome quality. Those claims require separate outcome evidence.
