OPEN BENCHMARK / HSG253 / 2026
Nine models.
One consequential test.
Can an AI model turn an 88-page safe-isolation guidance document into digital training that helps people reason—not merely recall?
THE METHOD
Same source.
Same challenge.
Outputs left intact.
Each model received HSE publication HSG253 and the same benchmark prompt. The brief tested technical reasoning, instructional design, interaction design and frontend engineering—not the ability to produce an attractive summary.
The required product was a self-contained, offline HTML learning application with three learner routes, a stateful isolation scenario, HSG253 paragraph references, competence assessment and an assurance dossier.
No output was repaired, redesigned or normalised after generation. The visual and functional differences are part of the evidence.

Mission: “Design and build the strongest working digital learning experience you can create from the supplied HSE publication HSG253.”
The brief required a lifecycle view, energy and hazard reasoning, an isolation-method laboratory, a centrifugal gas-compressor scenario with at least eight consequential decisions, change and reinstatement challenges, an offline expert coach, competence assessment and report, accessible interaction, and a built-in design note, source map and test report.
Core learning loop: Observe → Interpret → Decide → Act → See consequence → Explain why → Apply again.
