The product behind the evidence
About
PayingForAI exists because AI pricing pages and AI benchmarks answer the wrong question. Price lists say what a token costs. Leaderboards say who writes the nicest answer. Buyers need to know what a finished, verified result costs — failures, repairs, and human review included.
The Test Lab is the evidence engine: a reusable fight platform where models, agents, and frameworks run identical frozen workloads under deterministic judging, and every run — accepted or failed — is preserved, hashed, and published.
It is built by OverpayingForAI, which turns this evidence into buying advice: whether the model, plan, or agent you're paying for is worth paying for.

Independence
No contestant sponsors the lab. No affiliate links change a ranking. Roster changes and paid runs require explicit human confirmation and are recorded.
Portability
The lab is plain Python and static files. Fork it, audit it, rerun it. test-lab/ + scripts/build-static-site.ts
